You can use ONTAP System Manager classic (available in ONTAP 9.7 and earlier) to assign ownership of an unassigned disk to a specific node to increase the capacity of an aggregate or storage pool.
-
You can assign disks if the following conditions are true:
-
The container type of the selected disks must be “unassigned”.
-
The disks must be connected to nodes in an HA pair.
-
The disks must be visible to the node.
-
-
For MetroCluster configurations, you cannot use System Manager to assign disks.
You must use the command-line interface instead.
-
Click Storage > Aggregates & Disks > Disks.
-
In the Disks window, select the Inventory tab.
-
Select the disks that you want to assign, and then click Assign.
-
In the Assign Disks dialog box, select the node to which you want to assign the disks.
-
Click Assign.
