You can manage the ownership of disks and partitions.
You can perform the following tasks:
-
Display disk and partition ownership
You can view disk ownership to determine which node controls the storage. You can also view the partition ownership on systems that use shared disks.
-
Change settings for automatic assignment of disk ownership
You can select a non-default policy for automatically assigning disk ownership or disable automatic assignment of disk ownership.
-
Manually assign ownership of unpartitioned disks
If your cluster is not configured to use automatic disk ownership assignment, you must assign ownership manually.
-
Manually assign ownership of partitioned disks
You can set the ownership of the container disk or the partitions manually or by using auto-assignment—just as you do for unpartitioned disks.
-
A disk that has failed completely is no longer considered by ONTAP to be a usable disk, and you can immediately disconnect the disk from the shelf.
-
ONTAP writes disk ownership information to the disk. Before you remove a spare disk or its shelf from a node, you should remove its ownership information so that it can be properly integrated into another node.
