Aggregate creation fails with message "is not a spare disk"
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Issue
Within the ONTAP CLI, the node appears to have spare disks available:
cluster1::> storage aggregate show-spare-disks
Original Owner: cluster1-01
Pool0
Root-Data Partitioned Spares
Local Local

Disk Type Class RPM Checksum Usable Usable Size Status

1.0.23 SAS performance 10000 block 0B 53.88GB 838.4GB not zeroed
5 entries were displayed.
However, attempting to create an aggregate using the disks listed fails:
cluster1::*> storage aggregate create -aggregate newaggr -disklist 1.0.19,1.0.20,1.0.21,1.0.22,1.0.23 -node cluster1-01
Error: command failed: Aggregate creation would fail for aggregate "newaggr" on
node "cluster-01". Reason: disk 1.0.19 is not a spare disk.
