Remove old restricted aggregate

SorinAndruseac — Fri, 14 Oct 2016 08:12:00 GMT

Hello,

It seems that I have an "old aggregate" that is restricted and I cant find a way to delete it. This is inconvenient because I can't use the disks. Moreover the aggregate is visible only from one node. Any ideea how I can delete this old aggregate?

Tried that ... this is the output

netapp11::*> storage aggregate remove-stale-record -nodename netapp11-01 -aggregate aggr0

Error: command failed: Failed to delete aggregate "aggr0". Reason: aggregate 'aggr0' cannot be destroyed because it is restricted. You will need to take it offline before
destroying it.

netapp11::*> aggr offline aggr0

Error: command failed: Failed to check if aggr0 is a foreign(unknown) aggregate. Reason: entry doesn't exist.

Any other ideea would be great appreciated

So do it from node shell.

Well,

This is strage, I'm allmost sure that I've tried that before and also I tried it from maintenance mode.

However this time worked like a charm.

Thank you very much, it was really helpfull.

Hello,

I guess I was doing:

system node run -node <nodename> -command <commands_from_above>

Good Luck!!!

elevated command needed: set -privilege advanced

Run the following command to identify the node with the aggregate flagged as foreign.
The relevant aggregate will have the label foreign.
::> system node run -node * -command sysconfig -r
Based on the above output, run the following clustershell commands, referencing the node that has the foreign aggregate.
::> set -privilege advanced
::*> storage aggregate remove-stale-record -nodename [node_name] -aggregate [foreign aggregate name]

I would like to provide some clarification to this as the answer is not complete for those who come across this problem.

I noticed aggr0 on an array and I picked it up using NetApp Config Advisor when checking out the RAID Disk Visualization tool.

I found the NetApp KB that @Paul123456789 lists the commands from https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Software/ONTAP_OS/How_to_remove_a_foreign_aggregate_(made_out_of_orphaned_disks)_in_ONTAP BUT....................... the aggregate IS NOT labelled as foreign when looking at the output of "...... sysconfig -r"

The aggregate is actually just listed as restricted and in my scenario I had the aggregate listed twice, once for each controller.

SO HOW DO I RESOLVE? Well here are the steps (I have 9.9.1P10 code)

1) set advanced

2) system node run -node <node name> -command aggr offline <aggregate name>

NOTE:

The system WILL NOT take the command system node run -node <node> -command storage aggregate offline -aggregate <aggregate name>
You MUST take the aggregate offline as the below command will fail of the aggregate is online and restricted

3) storage aggregate remove-stale-record -nodename <node name>

4) storage disk zerospares -owner <node name>

Steps 3 and 4 need to be performed for each node with the foreign aggregates.
