netapp support advised me to use the disk_remove_label command to remove the disk labels of a couple of new disks which decided to insert themselves into a new and unused vol. however, my 5.3D2 ontap does not seem to know the disk_remove_label command. is this correct? or is there another command to remove the disk label?

Michael,
Use the disk_erase_label command, you will be able to find this command under rc_toggle_basic. You should be able to use the 'vol destroy' command to destroy these unwanted volumes though. Either one should accomplish what you are trying to do, turn these drives into spares.

thanks paul ...
vol destroy did exactly what you said it would and what i wanted.

this has happened quite a bit lately. I told my service engineers about this problem. When this happened to my machine, pre 5.2x, it cause my machine to reboot. This was unacceptable. I hope that a process to correct this problem has begun. Please report these types of issues to you support engineers. Calling the support line is of no use because, I was told, they cannot annotate the ticket. This should be changed as well. When called upon, they should have the ability to note a change in the process is needed.
Well, my soap box got bigger than expected, climbing down now. :)
