Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Advanced Drive Partitioning (ADP)
  • Root-Data (RD) or Root-Data-Data (RDD/RD2) Partitioning

Answer

  • If the spare disk is partitioned in ADP configuration, its container type is shown as shared.
  • If the spare disk is unpartitioned (remain as a whole disk), its container type is shown as spare.

Additional Information

Why is a newly added disk not auto-partitioned on ADP systems?
