Reassign the drives that were previously assigned to FAS2820 node1 to node3.

About this task

Perform the following steps on node3.

Steps

At the LOADER prompt, boot node3 into Maintenance Mode:
```
boot_ontap maint
```
The Maintenance Mode prompt appears.
Display all attached drives:
```
disk show -v
```
Record the local system ID value; this is the system ID of node3. Also record the system IDs of node1 and node4 from the "OWNER" column.
Reassign all drives from node1 to node3:
If you're using whole disks
Run the following command:

disk reassign -s <node1_system_ID> -d <node3_system_ID>
If you're using partitioned disks
Run the following command:

disk reassign -s <node1_system_ID> -d <node3_system_ID> -p <node4_system_ID>
Verify that all reassigned drives are viewable to the new system ID:
```
disk show -s <node3_system_ID>
```
If drives are not viewable, stop and contact technical support for assistance.
Exit Maintenance Mode:
```
halt
```
