Under priv set diag you can us the disk unfail command to make a broken disk a spare again but this is (as you said) used at your own risk.
Is that what you are looking for? I have not had to use this command myself so I don't know what the real-world implications are. C-
m5*> disk usage: disk <options> Options are: fail <disk_name> - fail a file system disk remove <disk_name> - remove a spare disk swap - prepare (quiet) bus for swap unswap - undo disk swap and resume service scrub { start | stop } - start or stop disk scrubbing unfail <disk_name> - make a failed disk a spare again shm_stats [<disk_name>] - Storage Health Monitor stats for a disk

I powered off a NetApp rather abruptly. Oops.
Since then, one of my disks reckons it's broken.

I believe there's a command disk_erase_label which I can use to (at my own risk) try to recover this disk. But it needs a disk id parameter. I'm guessing that the disk id is 8.2 (the missing one from the info above) - but that doesn't work.
nacolt1*> disk_erase_label 8.2 bad disk_name: 8.2
Is there some other disk id I need to find out - or is this just an indication that the disk really is broken?
This is an old ONTAP. version says:
