how to reassign disks

[CCOLEMAN_]

Hello,

I have added a DS4243 with 24 1TB drives to my FAS2040.

It looks like the disks on my new shelf have already been assigned before. Anytime I try to do a disk_removeownership or disk_unassign it says this can only be done in maintenance mode?

How can I unassign and reassign the disks with out taking the filer down? (I only have one controller)

Thanks!

It looks as though you have no spare disks in raid group 0, would you be able to copy the output of 'sysconfig -r'?

Of course, you can find the result of the command here:

That's great,

To me, it looks like the below disk should not be assigned to the partner node but the node you took the 'sysconfig -r' from.

partner         0c.00.2         0c    0   2   SA:A   0  SAS  15000 272000/557056

Try removing the ownership and assigning it again,

[rmontavonsa]

Ok, thank you for your answer !!!

Im not sur if i have all understand. I don't know what's a partner disk.

With the command sysconfig -r, we can see the disk is used. if i remove the ownership of this disk. I don't loose data ?

Sorry if my question is stupid, but it's the first time i work on a netapp system.

And if i remove the ownership of this disk, do you know what's the command line for assigning it again this partner disk ?

[mlroberts99]

A partner disk is a disk that is owned by the partner node in the HA pair. Im not too sure, it all depends on the the partner node, would you be able to run a 'sysconfig -r' on the other controller too?

[rmontavonsa]

of course, here you have the result of the command sysconfig -r on the other controller

Ok i have see the problem. We can see on the other controller pool0 and pool1 was empty. I have remove owner disk and reasign it from the other controller.

But i don't understand why i don't see the same pool0 and pool1 on the twoo controller. Now the status controller is "normal".
