Unable to assign new drive(s)
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- MetroCluster IP
Issue
After inserting new drives into the system they show up as 'unknown'
Example:
Cluster_A::> storage disk show -container-type unknown Usable Disk Container Container Disk Size Shelf Bay Type Type Name Owner ---------------- ---------- ----- --- ------- ----------- --------- -------- 1.20.3 - 20 3 SSD unknown - 2.30.3 - 30 3 SSD unknown - 2 entries were displayed.
When attempting to view the partitions no information can be displayed
Example:
Cluster_A::*> storage disk partition show -partition *1.20.3*
Usable Container Container
Partition Size Type Name Owner
------------------------- ------- ------------- ----------------- -----------------
1.20.3.P1 - - - -
1.20.3.P2 - - - -
1.20.3.P3 - - - -
After removing ownership of the partitions and assigning them to the correct node, they add a foreign aggregate to the system
Example:
Cluster_A-01> aggr status
aggr0(1) failed raid_dp, aggr diskroot, raidtype=raid_dp, raidsize=24,
foreign raid_lost_write=on, resyncsnaptime=5,
