Removing a failed disk

A disk that has already failed is no longer counted by Data ONTAP as a usable disk. You can just physically disconnect the disk from the disk shelf.

Steps

1. Find the disk ID of the failed disk by entering the following command:aggr status -f

   The ID of the failed disk is shown next to the word failed. The location of the disk is shown to the right of the disk ID, in the columns labeled HA, SHELF, and BAY.

2. Remove the disk from the disk shelf according to the disk shelf manufacturer’s instructions.
