Ontap 9 make unassigned Disks to spare Disks

Hello;

I have some Disks from other Stotages with i want to use in our FAS 2554 Cdot 9.3.

I could not find the correct command to move an unassigned disk to the spare container, with "storage disk show" i see the disk is unasigned:

1.0.1 - 0 1 BSAS unassigned - -

I want to use this Disks as spares, could you please help me?

Hi,

Please use the following commands:
::> storage disk show -container-type unassigned
::> storage disk assign -disk disk_name -owner owner_name

Once it is assigned to owner/node, it will be eligible as spare.

Thanks!
