The software running on these filers is Data ONTAP GX 10.0.1P2 -- from previous discussions with the community, I've learned that GX has a whole different set of commands, so many of the Google-able resources I've found aren't relevant. Adding to that difficulty, we don't have a support contract on these filers (but they are properly licensed and whathaveyou).
ONTAP GX was replaced with ONTAP 8 C-mode (Cluster Mode) serveral years back. That should help your Googling.
Can anyone provide insight on this problem? Why is the aggregate not reconstructing when there are spares available? NetApp stuff is not my specialty, but I'm the one who gets to deal with it, and I am pretty stumped. Thank you in advance!
Are the broken disks the same size as the spare disks? That is the main reason for disks not reconstructing.
Any messages in the logs (event log show)?
Have you tried doing a 'storage disk replace'?
