Manually assign disk ownership

Contributors netapp-thomi

Disks must be owned by a node before they can be used in a local tier (aggregate).

If your cluster is not configured to use automatic disk ownership assignment, you must assign ownership manually.

You cannot reassign ownership of a disk that is in use in a local tier.

Steps
  1. Using the CLI, display all unowned disks:

    storage disk show -container-type unassigned

  2. Assign each disk:

    storage disk assign -disk disk_name -owner owner_name

    You can use the wildcard character to assign more than one disk at once. If you are reassigning a spare disk that is already owned by a different node, you must use the “-force” option.
