Hi! I've had the same problem. NetApp suggests:

- Lookup the disks which show the error, - Reboot the filer and press ctrlC, - From the 1-5 menu, choose option 5 to boot into maintenance mode, - Clear the label on those disks by typing: label wipe <disk_ID>

Note: For Data ONTAP 7.2, use label makespare instead of label wipe for new disks.

Example: *> label makespare 6b.69 label makespare: Disk 6b.69 forced to be a SPARE disk

"Label wipe" I think

hey guys.

i've setup a filer with 7.3 but now i want to revert to 7.2;

everythings fine, but 2 disks remain with "raid label" 9 an are unusable.

revert_to isn't working; disk fail/unfail is impossible (is not a file system disk);

scsi format isn't working either...

any suggestions?

greets,

chris

Thats correct, I did that yesterday. (with help from Netapp) After you wipe disk labels in maintenance mode, the disks will appear with status "label broken". Boot back into normal mode and set a new label with "disk unfail -s <diskid>". After that the disks appear as spare disks and are ready to use.

From Ontap, "disk unfail -s<disk>" should work in this situation.  If

the disks are "label broken" I believe. Assuming that there is no needed data on said disks.
