Solved: Snaplock Compliance aggregate - Page 2

netapping · ‎2017-04-28

I made snaplock compliance aggregate with ONTAP 9.1 ,and create volume in the compliance aggregate.
Then I halted ONTAP to initialize all disks using boot menu No.4 , but it couldn't be initialized.
All aggrigate including compliance aggregate is still remained.
Root volume is initialized yet.

I'd like to know How the compliance aggregate disks are initialized , and is it possible to reuse them?

Disk 0b.00.10 is part of a SnapLock Compliance volume. It will not be overwritten or formatte
Disk 0a.00.9 is part of a SnapLock Compliance volume. It will not be overwritten or formatted

The document "Technical FAQ SnapLock ONTAP9.0 and 9.1" says

"When all the WORM data has expired in a SnapLock Compliance volume, the volume can be
deleted."
"SnapLock flexible volumes on an aggregate are deleted, the aggregate can also be delete"

Technical FAQ

Some volumes are still remaied on the disks and I can't delete them.

Thanks,

I tried zeroing disks on the server(IBM system x 3650) using erasing tool ,and it failed.
All process of zeroing were finished with no-fatal errors ,but the following scsi error occured.
---
* fail scsi Disk IBM ServerRAID MF5015 2.12 837GiB(898GB) 001709a72368e8c820d0251F04b
---

But this trouble was solved by other way.
Compliance aggregate was deleted with following ontap command .

::*>volume lost-found show
::*>volume lost-found delete -node "nodename" -dsid "DSID"
::*>run -node "nodename" aggr offline "aggr name"
::*>aggr remove-stale-record -aggregate "aggr name" -nodename "nodename"

off course it is necessary every files in compliance volumes are expired,now all of the drives are able to be reused .

In case some drive is not expired, it's impossible to be reused.

thanks,
