Hi,

thanks a lot!

Setting "options raid.rpm.fcal.enable off" does the trick!

Thanks a lot for all replies.

Regards

Jochen

Hello toasters,

i came accross an issue with one filer where we have mixed 10k and 15k 144gb disks. Due to the fact that netapp stops delivering 10k FC disks we are running out of 10k spares for that filer.

We had the issue that one 10k 144gb disk failed and the filer had the choice to take a 15k 144gb or a 10k 320gb disk. Gues what, the filer chose the 320gb over the 144gb one because of the better fit in RPM.

Now my two questions are, will this behaviour change?? And can i stop the filer from complaining about low spares?? As 10k 144gb disks are not available any longer, i am afraid to receive this message for

quiet

a long time (till we got rid of all 10k disks).

Best regards from germany and thanks in advance

Good day,

Would you happen to have already tried "options raid.rpm.fcal.enable off"?

Hope this helps; thanks.
