  • Disk assignment

Issue

  • In cluster1 both nodes have 1 aggregate in degraded mode because there is no enough spare disk in pool1
  • 1 disk in failed state in the both remote plexes for node 1 and node 2
  • But assign the unassigned remote partitions to pool1 results in error:

cluster1::*> storage disk partition assign -partition 1.21.15.P1 -pool 1 -owner cluster2-n1

Error: command failed: entry doesn't exist

cluster1::*> storage disk partition assign -partition 1.21.15.P2 -pool 1 -owner cluster2-02

Error: command failed: entry doesn't exist

  • Local assignment also ends up with an error

node1> disk assign 0v.i1.2L28P3
disk assign: Cannot assign "0v.i1.2L28P3" from this node. Try the command again on node cluster2-n1
node1> disk assign 0m.i1.2L28P3
disk assign: Cannot assign "0m.i1.2L28P3" from this node. Try the command again on node cluster2-n1

  • This partition belongs to a disk physically located in cluster2 but need to be assigned to cluster1 in pool1
  • The partitions were successfully unassigned from cluster2
