I received our order of a new FAS3250 along with a 7 shelves. I want to use the shelves on our FAS3240 for now. We'll be doing a head swap in the future.
I got 5 of the shelves attached today and then realized they were all owned by the FAS3250 that we got. On top of that, it looks like all disks are in an aggregate. I suspect this because I forced disk ownership of drive 0 on one of the shelves and it imported aggr0 but then renamed it to aggr0(1) and put it offline. I tried the same thing with drive 0 of another shelf and that imported aggr0(2) and put it offline.
So, what's the best way to handle this?
disk reassign ?
My fear is if I import 144 drives using 'disk assign <disk> -s <sysid>-f', I will end up with 144 aggr0(X) offline aggregates and then have to clean all of that up.
Once the headswap is done, the FAS3240 along with the other 2 remaining shelves will be going to our DR site and I imagine I'll be doing a fresh install of OnTAP on there since there will be no root vol
Thanks!
