Adding disks to a mirrored aggregate or traditional volume, where the user selects the disks

If you select the new disks to add to the mirrored aggregate or traditional volume, you must ensure that you add the correct number of disks of the correct sizes. The disks must have the same checksum compatibility, and disks for each plex must be in different pools.

Steps

1. Enter the following command to list available spare disks.{ aggr | vol } status -r
2. Choose the spare disks you want to add.
3. Enter the following command:{ aggr | vol } add { aggrname | volname } -d disk-list -d disk-list

   aggrname is the name of the aggregate to which you are adding disks.

   volname is the name of the traditional volume to which you are adding disks (without the /vol/ prefix).

   disk-list consists of disk IDs of one or more available disks; separate multiple disks with a space character. Both -d options must be used, one for each plex. Data ONTAP automatically assigns the disks to the appropriate plex.

   Note: Specifying only one disk set using the -d option will fail.

   Example

   In this example, use the following command to add disk 3.1 to one plex and disk 8.1 to the other plex of the aggrD mirrored aggregate.aggr add aggrD -d 6.1 -d 8.1

   Example

   In this example, use the following command to add disk 3.1 to one plex and disk 8.1 to the other plex of the volD mirrored traditional volume.vol add volD -d 6.1 -d 8.1
