[SOLVE] Wrong spare disk used as a data disk

Hello,

I've got a issue with my disk on a FAS2020, I explain:

I've got 2 type of physical disk in the system : 413 GB and 827 GB. Before the problem, there was 1 spare disk of each type.

One of my 413 GB disk failed and instead of the 413 GB spare disk, the system use a 827 GB spare disk as data disk for the agregate.

So now I've got 2 413 GB spare disks and no 827 GB spare, and one 827 GB disk use as a 413 GB data disk.

Is there a way to move a 413 GB spare disk as data and obtain the return of my 827 GB data disk as a spare ?

You can see the problem on this screenshot - disk involve is the 0c.00.6

Thank you for your help ! 🙂

Have you tried to replace it:

"disk replace start 0c.00.6 0c.00.0"

to replace the bigger one with the spare.

Use the option -m if it don't works like this.
