Insufficient spare disks

vinmed — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 16:28:46 GMT

Hi,

I changed a disk on my FAS250.

However, I have the following error "Insufficient spare disks".

In the aggr tab, now I see two different aggr (aggr0 e aggr0(1)) wich aggr0(1) with only the disk that I replaced.

How can resolve the issue? Any hint?

Thanks in advance for you replies.

Vincenzo

Spare disk was not zeroed so ONTAP detects it as part of aggregate. Just destroy this foreign aggregate and zero new spare.

Thanks for you reply, but How can I do that?

Is the new drive with data?

Run the following command to identify the node with the aggregate flagged as foreign.
The relevant aggregate will have the label foreign.
::> system node run -node * -command sysconfig -r
Based on the above output, run the following clustershell commands, referencing the node that has the foreign aggregate.
::> set -privilege advanced
::*> storage aggregate remove-stale-record -nodename [node_name] -aggregate [foreign aggregate name]
