Unassigned Disks

blassen — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:21:02 GMT

Hi,

is there a way to create a report to show all the disks that are not assigned to a controller?

I'm essentially looking for a report that aggregates the output of the disk show -n command over all the controllers

Hi Bengt,

I am not sure if un-assigned disk are reported in OnCommand Unified Manager/DFM. I definitely do remember that we report on data, parity, spare,failed and broken disk but not sure on unassigned ones.

[root@vmlnx ~]# dfm report view disks help

All Disks Report (disks)

Shows all disks.

Columns:

reportLineNumber Line

grandparentObjFullName Controller

diskName Disk Name-------------------------------------> Gives info if a disk is data/parity/spare/broken/failed check if you get un-assigned as well.

aggrObjName Aggregate

diskFirmwareRevision Firmware Revision

diskVendorName Disk Vendor

diskModel Disk Model

diskType Disk Type

diskShelf Disk Shelf

diskBay Disk Bay

diskPlexId Disk Plex Id

diskTotalMB Disk Size (MB)

Default sort order is +grandparentObjFullName.

[root@vmlnx ~]#

I dont have a setup to quickly try this out to confirm it.

Regards

adai

Well not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the fact that a disk is not assigned does not seem to bother the OC Server the slightest ...

dedusngs01*> disk show -n

DISK OWNER POOL SERIAL NUMBER

------------ ------------- ----- -------------

2c.25 Not Owned NONE 3KS6Z32000009811PSYN

At the same time the DFM spits out that the disk is still a spare

c:\dfm report view disks | findstr dedusngs01 | findstr 2c.25

dedusngs01.dus.netapp.com spare disk 2c.25

How do I force the update of the DB that the views are looking in?
