SO, look at the output of disk show -a

The -n shows all non-owned disks.

Look for disks not owned by either of your two nodes now.

If there are any disks owned by another party....ugh, little bit of work involved.

If not, do your best to verify which disks on which shelves are owned and where.

Sometimes it is helpful to run through the disks one by one, if possible, use a sorting routine to put the disks in order to make looking at the list easier.

Let us know!

any chance you can copy to a flash drive or the like? or is it more secure than that ;)

Sadly I can't - this is a system on an isolated network. I can re-type parts of it, but that's probably not as useful. :/

Hey Edward, just for kicks, how about posting the "disk show -a" for us.

Thanks

New disks are all listed in 'disk show -n'. I think that means they're not assigned. (And a disk I've deliberately unassigned is also not being reassigned).

Are you sure new disks are unowned? It is not uncommon to get repurposed hardware.

Sorry, should have said - also did this with the spares. I can see no drives on 'head1' sysconfig -r that are 'wrong' and likewise on 'head2'. 

Checked this with grepping 'partner' and ensuring they're all the right pair of controllers. (On both sides)

If you just performed “replace” without un-/re-assigning drives that became spare, this is expected. Spares still belong to controller and will block auto assignment.

Subject: Disk auto assign

 

I've just added some new shelves to a (7-mode) filer pair, bring them up to two stacks of 10 shelves.

I'm trying to get 'autoassign' working, and it isn't.

I have:
- swapped drives such that each 'head' has only disks from one 'stack'. 

Head 1 has 0a/5b

Head 2 has 5a/5d

 

I've had to manually trigger a small number of 'replace' operations. 
And then switched on autoassign in the options.

I _think_ that should be it, but ... there's something I'm missing, because autoassign isn't working. 

 

Does anyone have suggestions for why this might be, or what else I could check? (I'm wondering if there's a misassigned but 'failed' drive that otherwise isn't showing up?)
