MetroCluster IP: Asymmetric partition layouts
Applies to
- MetroCluster IP
- AFF-A300
- Advanced Disk Partitioning (ADP)
- ONTAP 9
- Unusable partitions sizes after shelf expansion
Issue
Different ADP layouts are observed to be in use at both sites.
Example:
Aggregate siteA_aggr_n1_root – Partition size: 53.88GB
- 8 data partitions
- 1 parity partition
- 1 dparity partition
RAID group /siteA_aggr_n1_root/plex0/rg0
RAID Disk Device HA SHELF BAY CHAN Pool Type RPM Used (MB/blks) Phys (MB/blks)
