Hi, I am also running into issues writing to any of the 12 NVME drives in a H610s. The symptom is that the operating system can read from the drives but not write to them. So can't create VMFS datastores, for example. Could it be that the disk controller is refusing writes due to un-flushed cache or something like that? I checked all the BIOS settings, there does not seem to be a menu item or way to access the disk controller. I have tried Ubuntu, it sees the NVME drives but can't modify the partition table. ESXi gives an error "failed to create VMFS datastore, cannot change the host configuration". Any help or ideas appreciated - thanks!

Hi Experts, I'm currently facing an issue with adding disks to my NetApp system and would greatly appreciate your help. Here is my current setup: NetApp FAS8300 system Firmware version: 9.11.1 Current disks: Aggregate 1 : 20 disks of 16TB in RAID-TEC Aggregate 2 : 20 disks of 16TB in RAID-TEC I have new 16TB disks that I want to add to my existing storage pool. However, I'm not sure of the exact steps to integrate these new disks optimally without disrupting my system's current operations. Here are a few specific questions I have: Are there any prerequisites or specific checks that need to be done before adding the disks ? What is the exact command to add these new disks to the existing storage pool ? Should I plan for a maintenance window or any downtime during the disk addition process ? Is it possible to mix disks of different sizes and, if so, what are the implications for performance and space management ? Any help or advice on the procedure would be greatly appreciated. If you have any experiences to share, that would be very helpful! Thanks
