We're currently running two SVMs, each with its own aggregate, one one each node of a FAS8020 cluster running 9.1P6 (I know, I know).
Conceptually, SVMs do not own aggregates. SVMs can generally use resources from all over the cluster. For aggregates, you can restrict that with the "aggr-list" property of the vserver object.
When I try to add a new volume to one SVM I can only see one aggregate but I'd like to put that volume on the other aggr.
That's probably the aggr-list property then. You can modify that list with the vserver modify command:
vserver modify -vserver Vserver_name -aggr-list aggr_name[, aggr_name]
How can I tell if I'm running HW or SW based ownership?
That won't be the issue. HW-based disk ownership has been deprecated in the 7.3 days, IIRC, and ONTAP 9 doesn't support it at all anymore.
To confirm, if I was running SW based should I be able to use either aggr on either SVM?
And last, is there any way to change from HW to SW without tearing it all up?
As mentioned above, irrelevant.
Hope that helps, Oliver
