  • ONTAP 9.7P10
  • Root Data Partition - Advanced Disk Partitioning (ADP)

Issue

  • A shelf is moved from system "A" to system "B"
    • Ownership of the disks was not removed from system "A"
  • The original system "A" is no longer available
    • Removing ownership on system "A" is no longer possible
  • Ownership of the disks need to be assigned to the new system "B"
  • Failure occurs when removing the owner of the root and the data partition of a disk formerly owned by system "A"

Example:

Cluster::> disk removeowner node02:1d.10.0

Error: command failed: Failed to remove the owner of disk "node02:1d.10.0". Reason: Cannot remove owner of disk "1d.10.0" because it is shared.
The disk is partitioned for root-data partitioning, remove ownership from the partitions by entering both of the following commands:
 
Cluster::*> storage disk removeowner 5.10.0 -root true
Error: command failed: Internal error. Unable to determine the sharing method for disk "5.10.0".

Cluster::*> storage disk removeowner 5.10.0 -data true
Error: command failed: Internal error. Unable to determine the sharing method for disk "5.10.0".
