ONTAP 9

Description

In some scenarios, a particular disk might not be partitioned automatically or is partitioned with a wrong partition size.
In this case, it requires manual re-partitioning.
However, the target disk must be with the same size and type as the source disks from the aggregate the disk will belong.
Partition sizes must not differ from those that the system was initialized with.
