Hi everyone,

 

I'm in a big truoble. I've got 4 spare disks, but my raid i degraded. How can I solve this?

 

I'm using FAS3020 wits system 7.2.6

 

NETAPP> sysconfig -r
Aggregate aggr0 (online, raid_dp, degraded) (block checksums)
  Plex /aggr0/plex0 (online, normal, active)

I believe I found it. Replacing 500GB disk with 1TB disk will cause total physical capacity of aggregate to exceed 16TB and this is not allowed in Data ONTAP 7.2 You actually must have seen "The reconstruction cannot start in RAID group [raid group]: Operation would make volume too big" in logs ...

 

So yes, replacing one of 1TB spare disks with 500GB disk would help in this case. Or you could upgrade to 7.3 which does not count parity disks against total physical capacity ...

I'm also looking for 500 GB disks on ebay. But seems that depending on size disk, reference are different. Is this correct?

 

NetApp X 267 A-R5 / 500 GB

 

NetApp X 269 A-R5 / 1 Tb

 

If this is correct, I'll buy some x267 disks and I'll change the spare ones.

 

Thanks.

Before wastingspending money I'd first try reseating spare disks; may be it will trigger rebuild.

Hi,

 

How can I do that?. Can you please tell me the command line for reseating spare disks?

 

 

Thanks.

I mean physically reseat drive - pull out, wait a minute, plug in.

You need to physically remove and then insert the failed disk, but as you said there is no amber light on any of the disks we first need to get the disk id of the failed disk which is what most of the latest post have been based around.

 

If you know the disk id you can make the light blink amber and then reseat it:

 

fas01> priv set advanced
Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use
them only when directed to do so by NetApp
personnel.
fas01*> blink_on <disk_name>

 

A long winded way to find the disk id would be the process of elimination.  ie list out all of the disk id's that you can see and then identify the missing one....

There are 56 disks in 4 shelves. Nothing is missing ...

By listing all the id's you should spot the missing one.  As an example  the sequence might go 0c.50 0c.51 0c.52 0c.54 0c.55 0c.56  - the missing disk id = 0c.53

 

You would need to do this for all your disk id's on the system and familiarise yourself with the disk id ranges for each shelf in a loop

I'm really worried with this. Seems there's no way of finding failed disks.

You can find it by comparing ASUP before failure or reading logs. But it is the wrong question - what really matters is not which of spare drives was part of aggregate, but why aggregate reconstruction does not start.
