Disk Size Reported Incorrectly

OnlyMe — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:30:03 GMT

Hi All,

I'm new to Netapp, and have the following problem.

I have a FAS 2040 (2U) ONTAP 8.0.2 7-mode with 2 controllers, with no internal disks and I have an external DS4246.

When I installed the OS it created the aggregate (aggr0) on the DS4246, but you can see below that the physical disks are 4 TB and the used is 914 GB.

The problem is when I try to create a new aggregate, the disks appear as 914 GB...

I tried failing the disk and restore it (set priv diag), zeroing the disk etc...

Do you have any ideas how do I make them 4 TB?

Disk Type Checksum Compatibility Shelf Bay   Chan Used Physical    Pool    Aggregate
***** dparity zoned/block 174    0 SA:A 914 GB 3.64 TB Pool0 aggr0

Thanks!

4TB drives are not supported on a FAS2040 with DOT 8.0.2 7-mode. According to Hardware Universe, the maximum for external DS4246 is 3TB drives.
