Hello, i'm french, sorry for my bad english !

I receive a FAS2020 with 12 SAS 450go and 2 controller.

I have some question :

-controller 1 assign 4 disk,(1 spare and 3 for root aggr0)

-controller 2 assign 8 disk (5 spare and 3 for root aggr0)

its a probleme for me !

they are 6 disk used for root ???

if i want used more space, how to do this ???

Spares allocation

RAID4 minimum global spares 1 disk

RAID-DP minimum global space 2 disks

so if you configure you environment as previous recommendatations you require 3 spare disks minimum in total. 1 for node 1 (RAID4) and 2 for node 2 (RAID-DP)

Yes it's recommandation, but if there are one spare for all, what is the probleme ?

Hi if you use skype then we can chat, because i think we will get more done that way. alternatively you will need to contact you NetApp sales team and they should help you through this.
