Expand Aggregate on AFF 200 SSDs to Spare

[thomas382]

Hello;

We are using a AFF 200 with 24 960GB SSD and a schelf mith 12 960GB SSD, now we added 4 960er SSDs to the shelf, after assigning the Disks to the Cluster01-2 with the Command "storage aggregate show-status" i can see the disks 1.11.12-1.11.15 correct assigned to cluster1-02, it kooks fine:

With "disk show" i can see the 4 new SSDs are unasigned.

1.11.12                   -    11  12 SSD     unassigned  -         -
1.11.13                   -    11  13 SSD     unassigned  -         -
1.11.14                   -    11  14 SSD     unassigned  -         -
1.11.15                   -    11  15 SSD     unassigned  -         -

When i assign the Disks to the cluster01-2 i get this:

1.11.12 894.0GB 11 12 SSD aggregate aggr1_B_01
cluster1-02
1.11.13 894.0GB 11 13 SSD aggregate aggr1_B_01
cluster1-02
1.11.14 894.0GB 11 14 SSD aggregate aggr1_B_01
cluster1-02
1.11.15 894.0GB 11 15 SSD aggregate aggr1_B_01
cluster1-02

The SSDs now in the Container aggr1_B_01 why?

To correctly expand an aggregate i need Spare Disks,

How can i convert this Disks to Spare?

Can you help me please?

Would you be able to supply the log of the CLI commands you entered?

This is probably best handled by opening a technical case with NetApp Support.

Hi Andis;

Thanks for your Reply, i have contacted Netapp in thiis case, but received no Respose so far.

I amnew in cDot, so i don't know how to provide the CLI Log, sorry.

I am sure that the Disks whre used in an other Filer and have old Aggregate Inormation, It looks like no "qick" Solution for the Problem...
