I believe the wafl_check has to be run
from maintenance mode. wafl_iron can be run while the filer is online
and the aggregate will be offline for a certain amount of time during the
wafl_iron. Depending on the size of the aggregate and the vols in
the aggregate it can take a while to run.
Yes, if you destroy the aggregate and
create a new one the issue will be gone. We have done this several
times to get an aggregate back since they were large enough that the wafl_iron
or check would run for many hours.

According to the manuals this means that i need to run a wafl consistency
check ran on it (Wafl_check), can I do this while the filer is online and
serving data or do i have to boot the filer in to maintenance mode?.
Yes, you can run a wafl_check on an aggregate while the filer is online,
as long as the aggregate DOESN'T contain the root volume.
The aggregate will be taken offline while running the check, so all the
data that you are serving from the aggregate will have availability issues
:)
If i was to delete the aggregate and start again would
I take it that would
negate the need to run the wafl_check? reason I ask is that the volumes
only
contain test data and this is more feasable than bringing the whole filer
down for several hours (its an R200)
In theory, yes, it should remove the status, since you will be creating
a completely set of raidgroups. I haven't ever tried that personally, though.
HTH & HAND!
