Change the type of a disk

DES5 — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 19:19:10 GMT

Hello everyone.

I ama new on netapp. On our netapp one disk have failed and took his place the spare disk. After almost 2 week the new disk has arrive and change the broken disk with the new one. On the web gui we show the alert one disk in unassign and so we assign the to the A node. At this time before the replace all the disks are shared so i believed the new disk will be assign as spare because all the disk before the replace was share. But no the new disk is not spared and is shared so know we have 12 shared disks and 0 spares. How i can make the new disk (bay 5) spare?

Hello SpindleNinja.

Thanks for your reply. This is the output of the command

And this is the output of show disks

The replaced disk is the 5 with the name AGPAVLOS_STRG_CL-01:0a.00.5

Thanks

PS I dont know why the command you told me to insert is showing the disk as spare but the show disks dont. If u can explained i will appreciate it.
