Applies to

- Microsoft Azure
Description
This knowledge base article provides a comprehensive overview of the step-by-step procedure for replacing the NVRAM disk for Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
Procedure
To replace the NVRAM disk in CVO, follow these steps:
- Stop both instances from the Azure portal.
- Access the Azure console and change the NVRAM disk type for both VMs.
- Once the NVRAM disk type is changed for both VMs, start Node 1 VM and observe if it boots up properly.
- Verify the boot process through the serial console to ensure normal functioning.
- If Node 1 boots up normally, proceed to start Node 2 as well.
Note:
- These steps should be followed in the specified order to ensure a successful replacement of the NVRAM disk in CVO and please ensure the disk size remains same.
-
As a good practice, it is recommended to make the changes by halting both nodes to avoid any unforeseen issues. However, it is fine to make the changes on one node at a time.
