Provisioning a half dozen new aggregates on a new 3240 and while most of them completed within seconds, two are stuck at "initializing." Can't offline them, destroy them, or do anything at all to them without getting an error about the operation not being permitted on an aggregate that's still being created. One of them has been in this state for an hour now.
Any advice? Anything I can do to shake them loose? Or should I just go take a nap and hope for the best?
Randy,
Run either an "aggr status -r" or an "aggr status -s" and see what you get. You may have some non-zeroed disks that were put into the aggregates. The disks will show a percentage completed if they are zeroing or tell you they are not zeroed. If you have a lot of non-zeroed disks, run "disk zero spares" and it will start zeroing all spares that need it.

You probably had some non-zeroed disks that were part of your spares pool being added into those aggregates so you'll have to wait until they're done zeroing. You can see the percent complete for zeroing each disk either in System Manager and selecting disks or via sysconfig -r from the CLI.
