Issue

  • From the sysconfig -a output, it is seen that different capacity drives are installed in the two shelves:

00.9 : NETAPP   X380_WVAXE10TA07 NA02 9324.2GB 520B/sect (VXXXXXXM)
00.10: NETAPP   X380_WVAXE10TA07 NA02 9324.2GB 520B/sect (VXXXXXXN)
00.11: NETAPP   X380_WVAXE10TA07 NA02 9324.2GB 520B/sect (VXXXXXXO)
01.0 : NETAPP   X336_TTCRE04TA07 NA04 3807.8GB 520B/sect (XXXXXXXXXXXC)
01.1 : NETAPP   X336_TTCRE04TA07 NA04 3807.8GB 520B/sect (XXXXXXXXXXXD)
01.2 : NETAPP   X336_TTCRE04TA07 NA04 3807.8GB 520B/sect (XXXXXXXXXXXE)

  • The disks with different capacities are mixed in the same RAID group:

::> system node run -node Node-01 -command sysconfig -r

Aggregate aggr_01 (online, raid_dp, fast zeroed) (block checksums)
  Plex /aggr_01/plex0 (online, normal, active, pool0)
    RAID group /aggr_01/plex0/rg0 (normal, block checksums)
