Making the Transition To Clustered Data ONTAP

juliusblash1 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:03:01 GMT

I am trying to setup a FAS 2554 with 24 6TB drives to use ADP. I have followed the two articles below and keep getting the error:

[localhost:raid.autoPart.disabled:notice]: Auto-partitioning is disabled on this system: the system needs a minimum of 8 internal hard disks.

Any suggestions.

How many disks do you have in your systems?

I just fix it.

You have to "REMOVE OWNER FOR ALL DISK BEFORE PARTITION DISK" otherwise you will got that error and cannot erase any disk.

NetApp will rebalance disk for each other node by automatic no need to do anything but you have to make sure that before partition disk "AUTO ASSIGN DISK IS ENABLED".
