Issue

  • After motherboard replacement on both controllers in HA pair, the data aggregate on one Node was reported in an “unknown” state.

    --------- -------- --------- ----- ------- ------ ---------------- ------------
    aggr1          -        -       -    unknown     -    Node1        -      -

The aggregate was visible in VLDB but missing in WAFL, and disk ownership metadata showed old system IDs still associated with some disks.
