Hey everyone, I have a couple of netapps that are doing this same weird thing. They both are reporting a bad disk, and when you replace the disk, the red light comes on for the new disk, and the netapp marks it as a broken disk. They are F760, running 5.3.5R3 of ontap. Someone thought we should take a down time and reboot them to see if that fixed it, but I wanted to avoid the huge amount of work that would be and see if anyone here has any suggestions. If you need more information about the filers to figure this out, let me know.
Thanks in advance, coLLin LeGault

I've had similar problem in the past (new disk was not recognized at all - looked like an empty slot to the filer) and it was eventually tracked down to a bad LRC. If this is a clustered system, see if the other filer is seeing the disk.
