Bad label message on 2nd hand disks

[JumpingKangaroo]

Hi,

I have a FAS2750 with DS2246 shelves. We had a disk fail the other day and i`ve purchased some 2nd hand disks from a reputable reseller. I`ve contacted NetApps but they no longer stock the disks for this system. 

When i plug the disks in i get a bad label message and the disk doesn`t show as a spare. If i run these commands will it solve this issue?

set -privilege advanced

storage disk unfail -s 1.1.7

storage aggr status -s

storage disk zerospares -owner node-1-cluster-1-gb-cam-1

I`ve never done this before so don`t want to wipe the rest of the disks. 

Many thanks

Hello,

Bad label is a known issue with 2nd hand disks.

To recover:

set adv

disk unfail -disk 1.1.7 -spare true

disk show -spare

You will not wipe the rest of the disk, it will only perform a zeroing on not zeroed disk

disk zerospares

Thanks for the reply. Glad to see i had the correct commands. I wanted to double check before i did this incase i ended up wiping our system.
