Event Summary

This message occurs when a disk drive fails due to unexpected RAID metadata.
Usually caused by adding non-zeroed drives that were previously used in a different ONTAP OS.
The drives have not truly failed. Due to the mismatch of ONTAP versions, the disks show up as bad label failed.

[Node Name: config_thread: callhome.dsk.label:alert]: Call home for DISK BAD LABEL

Resolution

The following action plan assumes that the disks are not critical data disks being migrated to the new system. Verify that the disks in question do not store production data.

Unfailing the drives

Unfail the drives to return them to the spare pool

::> priv set advanced ::*> storage disk unfail -s <disk_name>

Repeat the above steps as many times as needed to unfail the remaining drives
Check to see if the recently unfailed drives show up in the spare pool

::*> storage aggr status -s

The next step will be to clear the bad label by Zeroing the drives

::*> storage disk zerospares -owner <nodename>

The bad labels will clear once the disk zero is complete

Additional Information

What are the key considerations for moving storage between storage systems?

Common causes for this AutoSupport Message:

Drive sanitization was applied to the drives	Disks are not owned or report a Bad label after running the disk sanitize release command
MetroCluster IP- "Bad Label" immediately after running "metrocluster configuration-settings connection connect"	Disk bad label after "metrocluster configuration-settings connection connect"
