You might need to reboot the filer from the system boot diskette under the following circumstances:
Do not boot the filer with pre-6.1 system boot diskettes. The attempt to boot will fail because pre-6.1 software cannot recognize system data from a filer running Data ONTAP 6.1 or later.
To boot from a diskette, complete the following steps.
