    This button is enabled only if the container type of the selected disks is unassigned, spare, or shared.

  • Refresh

    Updates the information in the window.

Tabs

Summary

The tab also graphically displays information about spare disks, aggregates, and root aggregates for HDDs and information about spare disks, disks in a storage pool, aggregates, Flash Pool aggregates, and root aggregates for cache disks (SSDs).

The HDD panel is not displayed for systems with All Flash Optimized personality.

The details panel provides additional information about partitioned and unpartitioned spare disks (disk type, node, disk size, RPM, checksum, number of available disks, and spare capacity), in tabular format.
