Hi,

We have FAS920c DOT 7.0.6 with software based ownership and need to rearrange disks between heads. This works, but every time I remove disk ownership it complaints about lost spare which in turn sends autosupport and NetApp starts RMA to replace "broken" disk :)

Tue Aug 12 16:30:07 MSD [xxx: diskown.changingOwner:info]: changing ownersh ip for disk 8a.16 (S/N 3HW1K6A8000074230VKD) from xxx (ID xxx) to unowned (ID -1) Tue Aug 12 16:30:07 MSD [xxx: raid.config.spare.disk.missing:info]: Spare Disk 8a.16 Shelf 1 Bay 0 [NETAPP X273_S15K3073F15 NA08] S/N [3HW1K6A8000074230VKD] is missing. Tue Aug 12 16:30:57 MSD [xxx: asup.smtp.sent:notice]: Cluster Notification mail sent: Cluster Notification from xxx (SPARE DISK MISSING) WARNING

kb12834 actually shows the same warning, so I presume it is normal? Any workaround short of disabling autosupport during this work?

Thank you!
