Description

  • Disks are not accessible by the filer after adding disks from another filer.
  • The disk show -v command shows the disks are owned by another filer.
  • The disk reassign command does not work because the filer does not own the disks.
  • The disk fail command does not work because the filer does not own the disks.

Remove disk ownership on disks that are not owned by local node.


Procedure


Per the NetApp manual page:

"To make an owned disk unowned, use the -s unowned option. The local node should own this disk. Use -f option if the disk is not owned by the local node and may result in data corruption if the current owner of the disk is up."

Perform the following steps to make an owned disk unowned:

  1. Identify the disk.
    newfiler*> disk show -v
