Aggregate creation failed, but data partitions remain

Hi all,

I tried to create a data aggregate on a FAS2720. The cluster is still in factory state (meaning the cluster setup is complete but no data aggregates have been configured yet -- currently only the root aggregates exist).

I tried creating the first data aggregate (with root-data-partitioning) but the job failed:

 

NETAPP1::storage aggregate> create -aggregate aggr1_NETAPP1_01 -diskcount 20 -disktype FSAS -node NETAPP1-01 -raidtype raid_dp -maxraidsize 20

Info: The layout for aggregate "aggr1_NETAPP1_01" on node "NETAPP1-01" would be:

      First Plex

      Aggregate capacity available for volume use would be 57.35TB.

      The following disks would be partitioned: 2.11.11, 2.13.9, 2.12.9, 2.11.9, 2.13.7, 2.12.7, 2.11.7, 2.13.5, 2.12.5, 2.11.5, 2.13.3, 2.12.3, 2.11.3, 2.13.1, 2.12.1,
      2.11.1.

Searching for the error I only found a KB article without a solution (other than to contact NetApp Support).

Running "storage aggregate show" and "storage aggregate show-status" confirms that the aggregate I tried to create does not exist:

Running "storage aggregate show-spare-disks" confirms the disks are now root-data partitioned (they were spares before trying to create the aggregate):

However, when I run "storage disk show", the disks in question show up as shared and being part of the aggregate that does not exist (because its creation failed):

The result is that I'm unable to retry the aggregate creation:

 

NETAPP1::storage aggregate> create -aggregate aggr1_NETAPP1_01 -diskcount 20 -disktype FSAS -node NETAPP1-01 -raidtype raid_dp -maxraidsize 20

Error: command failed: Aggregate creation would fail for aggregate "aggr1_NETAPP1_01" on node "NETAPP1-01". Reason: 20 disks needed, but not enough matching disks
       are available.

 

Which is only logical.

How do I get rid of the data-partitions to make the disks spare again? Note: I don't want to destroy the root partitions on the 4 disks in shelf #10 as they are part of the root aggregate.
