Dears I am totally new to netapp. We have a netapp 2040 FAS with 12 hard disks.  For some reason when this was configured they didnt configure the spare disks. So we are with a netapp with 12 disk without a spare disk. Can any one suggest a rebuild option so that I can configure atleast 1 spare disk.

We had 2 hard disk failure and I have just added one hard disk now. So it started to rebuild. I was wondering if we can just rebuild the whole netapp? please advice

With the command "aggr status -v" you can find how many volumes are under all the aggregates.

 

Yes, if you destroy the aggr1 you can add all disks under aggr0 and use one spare disk.

 

To complete reinstall the storage you can follow this guide:

Basically you need to reboot the filer, press CTRL+C for the special boot menu and options 4a for the full reinstallation (this options erase all the data and configuration).
