Hello,
Recently we received a CDot cluster with 12 partitioned disks pre-installed from NetApp and we started using it and a week later we received 2 more SSDs which were not in the package earlier.
Now we have layout like below
filer0300::> disk show Usable Disk Container Container Disk Size Shelf Bay Type Type Name Owner ---------------- ---------- ----- --- ------- ----------- --------- -------- Info: This cluster has partitioned disks. To get a complete list of spare disk capacity use "storage aggregate show-spare-disks". 1.0.0 3.49TB 0 0 SSD shared aggr0_filer0301_0, aggr_single_file filer0310 1.0.1 3.49TB 0 1 SSD shared aggr0_filer0301_0, aggr_single_file filer0310 1.0.2 3.49TB 0 2 SSD shared aggr0_filer0301_0, aggr_single_file filer0310 1.0.3 3.49TB 0 3 SSD shared aggr0_filer0301_0, aggr_single_file filer0310 1.0.4 3.49TB 0 4 SSD shared aggr0_filer0301_0, aggr_single_file filer0310 1.0.5 3.49TB 0 5 SSD shared aggr_single_file filer0310 1.0.6 3.49TB 0 6 SSD shared aggr0_filer0302_0, aggr_single_file filer0320 1.0.7 3.49TB 0 7 SSD shared aggr0_filer0302_0, aggr_single_file filer0320 1.0.8 3.49TB 0 8 SSD shared aggr0_filer0302_0, aggr_single_file filer0320 1.0.9 3.49TB 0 9 SSD shared aggr0_filer0302_0, aggr_single_file filer0320 1.0.10 3.49TB 0 10 SSD shared aggr0_filer0302_0, aggr_single_file filer0320 1.0.11 3.49TB 0 11 SSD shared - filer0320 1.0.12 3.49TB 0 12 SSD spare Pool0 filer0320 1.0.13 3.49TB 0 13 SSD spare Pool0 filer0310 14 entries were displayed.
filer0300::> storage aggregate show-spare-disks Original Owner: filer0310 Pool0 Spare Pool Usable Physical Disk Type Class RPM Checksum Size Size Status ---------------- ------ ----------- ------ -------------- -------- -------- -------- 1.0.13 SSD solid-state - block 3.49TB 3.49TB zeroed Original Owner: filer0310 Pool0 Root-Data1-Data2 Partitioned Spares Local Local Data Root Physical Disk Type Class RPM Checksum Usable Usable Size Status ---------------- ------ ----------- ------ -------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- 1.0.5 SSD solid-state - block 0B 143.7GB 3.49TB zeroed 1.0.11 SSD solid-state - block 1.68TB 0B 3.49TB zeroed
Can we use the 3.49TB unpartitioned disk in the aggregate "aggr_single_file" or we can only use the partition 1.0.11 (1.68TB) in the aggregate expansion.
Would it mean that using 1.0.11 (partitioned space) would leave us with no spares in the Raidgrp?

Any whole disk that is added to a raid group that contains partitioned disks will automatically be partitioned to match the rest. If you were to add the data partition on 1.0.11 we would still be able to use the whole disk at 1.0.13 as a spare. It would automatically be partitioned to replace any of the failed data partitions.
