Are these disks that came from another system to be added to this controller as spares?  How did 112 disks show up with ownership from another controller (that's not the local or partner in this HA pair)?  You can assign disks that are owned by another controller using "disk assign <disk_id> -s unowned -f".  This should force the disk unowned since it's owned by another node.  You can then take ownership of it.

From the man pages:
To make an owned disk unowned, use the `-s unowned' option. The local node should own this disk. Use -f option if the disk is not owned by the local node and may result in data corruption if the current owner of the disk is up.

Worst case, you may need to head in to maintenance mode and issue the disk reassign command there.
Been a while and I do not remember if any version of ONTAP will let you reassign foreign disks without heading to main mode

Now, carefully look at that list!
In a HA environment, there should be only two IDs listed for owners.
Of course, only one number for a single controller.

If you have more than the expected number, then that is why they are not showing.
Why not post the "disk show -v" to the list so we can see?

“unowned” is not the same as “not owned by current controller”. Other disks are owned by some other controller, so they are not shown by “disk show -n”. Any reason you won’t use “disk show -v” as suggested twice already?

It appears not, the disk show –n command brings nothing back.

Do you have unassigned disks?  The "disk show" command will only show the disks that are assigned.  If there are unassigned disks you would see a note at the bottom of that output stating how many disks are unowned.  You can also see those unowned disks by using "disk show -n".

"disk show -v" will show you all of the disks, including those that are not assigned.

Hi all, I have a 3170 FAS, with 25 shelves of 1TB disk , 14 per shelf. I use the command storage show disk, and see al 350 disks, yet if I use the command disk show, I see one 242. Can anyone suggest what may be causing the difference in output?



Thanks,
