You can use the storage disk option modify command to select a non-default policy for automatically assigning disk ownership or to disable automatic assignment of disk ownership.

Learn about automatic assignment of disk ownership.

About this task

If you have an HA pair with only DS460C shelves, the default auto-assignment policy is half-drawer. You cannot change to a non-default policy (bay, shelf, stack).

Steps

  1. Modify automatic disk assignment:

    1. If you want to select a non-default policy, enter:

      storage disk option modify -autoassign-policy autoassign_policy -node node_name

      • Use stack as the autoassign_policy to configure automatic ownership at the stack or loop level.

      • Use shelf as the autoassign_policy to configure automatic ownership at the shelf level.

      • Use bay as the autoassign_policy to configure automatic ownership at the bay level.

    2. If you want to disable automatic disk ownership assignment, enter:

      storage disk option modify -autoassign off -node node_name

  2. Verify the automatic assignment settings for the disks:
