If you disabled automatic drive assignment as part of the preparation for the NS224 shelf hot-add, you need to manually assign drive ownership and then reenable automatic drive assignment, if needed.

Before you begin

You must have already cabled your shelf as instructed for your HA pair.

Steps

  1. Display all unowned drives: storage disk show -container-type unassigned

    You can enter the command on either controller.

  2. Assign each drive: storage disk assign -disk disk_name -owner owner_name

    You can enter the command on either controller.

    You can use the wildcard character to assign more than one drive at once.

  3. Reenable automatic drive assignment if needed: storage disk option modify -node node_name -autoassign on

    You must reenable automatic drive assignment on both controllers.
