A300 disk shelf move

Ramachandra_P — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 01:12:55 GMT

A300 have 4*DS224C(shelf ID 0,1,2,3) in single stack. Data aggregates are spread among all disks in this stack. During maintenance window, I plan to move the shelf id 3 to a new stack within the same A300, set new shelf ID as 10 and power on shelf and controller.

Does it cause any impact to data?

Is there any document or KB for this?

Hello

You can do it, all disk are "tagged" and can move to another shelf or alos change ID

At the reboot the Ontap retrive all tags and retreive all data

Hello.

In normal cases, data is not affected. You need to check whether the SAS link is normal and whether the disk array to be removed has disks in the raid group.
