Storage Disk Replace and Root Aggr Disks

ngregory — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:28:12 GMT

This was added to a SOLVED thread... I'm trying a new post to see if it gets any more of a response:

I plan to use VOL MOVE to evacuate all volumes from an aggregate that resides on a shelf in need of replacement. However, as luck would have it, one of the disks belongs to a root aggregate. Are there any special concerns with running the "storage disk replace" command against a disk that is part of a root aggr?

Thank you!

Nope. Go for it.

And GO FOR IT I did... took awhile with a 2.42TB SATA disk but all is good. Never hurts to double-check. Thanks all who weighed in!
