Hello Experts;

Hope you are all well and in good health? I have a few questions i kindly request for your expertises. 

Qns 1:

When assigning ownership to Disk of DS212C of 4TB only 8disks are assigned 4 disk become shared and I can't use them for creation of aggregates

Qns 2:

Is there a way of forcing these 4 disks to be owned by single controller so that I can use them.

Kindly assist me with solutions to these challenges. Thanks alot for your help

Hello,

I do not see why you wouldn't be able to use those disks in the way you want. It seems they are partitioned. These are new/unused shelves, right?

Can you share the output for the below commands?

storage disk show -ownership

storage disk show -partition-ownership

If they are partitioned, you should be able to remove the partitions with the following command:

system node run -node xxx -command disk unpartition xx.xx.xx

or

set d

storage disk unpartition ....

Kind regards,

Pedro

Hi,KRT

If the hard disk status is shared, it means that these disks have been partitioned and used. If you want to allocate these disks to a node for use, you need to first unpartitione and then reassign them to the same node for use.

Use the following command to view.

storage disk show -ownership

storage disk show -partition-ownership

The command to partition is as follows

system node run -node xxx -command disk unpartition xx.xx.xx

Or enter node mode to perform split area command

disk unpartition disk_list xx.xx.xx
