Hello everyone,
there is a FAS2720 with a external disk shelf DS212C, and the disks inside the controller is partitioned, but the disks in external disk shelf is non-partitioned. all of 12 disks in external disk shelf is used to create a data aggr, no spare disk is reserved(Ontap generates "Spares_Low" Error, because there are only partitioned spares, no whole spare disk) . There are many data in the data aggr, and it's not possible to delete aggr and then recreate. I wonder whether auto-partition of internal disks can be disabled, that is, after assigned, the internal spare is still non-partitioned. if this is the case, whether can the data aggr that is comprised of the external disks share the spare disk in the internal controller chassis?
Thanks in advance
