Alias name for a disk

Vigneshkumar — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 20:44:36 GMT

Hello,

In NetApp storage filter (say FAS 6000 series model) , I receive disk failure alert for the same disk with two different host adapter names.
Say disk '7d.22.10 failed' and 'disk 3c.22.10 failed' both point to the same disk.
note that host adapter (7d ,3c) is different but shelf (22) and bay (10) are the same.
Any command available in NetApp to view different host adapter names for the same disk ?

"storage disk show -p" would be your best option.

of course, evivronment shows it as well, but not the intuitive.

hopefully helps

thanks

Jeff
