When autoassignment is invoked

Disk ownership autoassignment does not happen immediately after disks are introduced into the storage system.

Disk autoassignment is invoked at the following times:

• Every five minutes during normal system operation
• Ten minutes after the initial system initialization

  This delay allows the person configuring the system enough time to finish the initial disk assignments so that the results of the autoassignment are as expected.

• Whenever you enter the disk assign auto command at the Data ONTAP console
