Netapp swapping failed disk

Finding which node has the failed disk

Run the below command to find the failed disk, which node and owner it belongs to:

disk show -container-type broken

Gathering and submitting logs

Depending on who your support is with you may need to gather and submit logs with all the info required for them to be able to issue the disk, to do this run the commands below:

run -node netapp01 -command sysconfig -A

Copy and paste the results in to a txt file and call it something like sysconfig-a-results.txt

Now run the below command:

system controller fru show-manufacturing-info

Copy and paste the results in to a txt file and call it something like sysconfig-m-results.txt

You may be asked for these by NetApp or whoever your support is with before they will process a disk replacement.

Replacing the disk

Run the following command to list the disk ID and it's owner:

storage disk show –container-type broken

Remove the failed disk and wait for 1 minute then insert the new replacement disk.

Run the following command to list the replaced disk:

storage disk show –container-type unassigned

Run the following command to assign the replacement disk (replace <ID> with the disk ID obtained from the first command):

storage disk assign –disk <ID> –owner netapp01

You can then run the below to check the status of the replacement disk (replace <ID> with the disk ID obtained from the first command):

storage disk show <ID>
