disk-fail [top]

Fail a file system disk. Removes the specified file system disk from the RAID configuration, spinning the disk down when removal is complete. disk fail is used to remove a file system disk that may be logging excessive errors and requires replacement. Note that if optional input parameter 'is-immediate' is true, the specified disk will be immediately failed out, and the RAID group to which the disk belongs will enter degraded mode (meaning a disk is missing from the RAID group). If a spare disk at least as large as the disk being removed is available, the contents of the disk being removed will be reconstructed onto that spare disk. If 'is-immediate' options is false or not specified, system will prefail the disk and its content will be copied to a replacement disk if a suitable spare disk is available, and afterwards the prefailed disk will be failed out. This process can be observed by polling disk-list-info for this disk and tracking values of elements copy-destination and copy-percent. The disk being failed is marked as ``broken'', so that if it remains in the disk shelf, it will not be used by the filer as a spare disk. If the disk is moved to another filer, that filer will use it as a spare. This is not a recommended course of action, as the reason that the disk was failed may have been because it needed to be replaced. NOTE: Data ONTAP 7.0 and earlier releases don't indicate failure code properly.
Input Name Range Type Description
disk string
Name of the disk to fail, e.g. "v0.1".
is-immediate boolean
optional
Specify 'true' if disk is to be failed out immediately. If disk is to be prefailed, specify 'false'. Default value is 'false'.

disk-list-info [top]
Get disk status information from RAID. Only disks owned by the filer or its partner are eligible for inclusion in the returned list. To obtain information about disks connected to the filer but not owned by the local filer or its CFO partner, use the disk-sanown-list-info api.
Input Name Range Type Description
disk string
optional
Get status for given disk, if not supplied, get status for all disks owned by the filer and its CFO partner.
 
Output Name Range Type Description

disk-release-all-reservations [top]
Release reservations on all reserved disks. When invoked from maintenance mode, all reservations are released on all disks until the system is rebooted. When not in maintenance mode, then the system will automatically re-issue reservations for disks it owns. In sanown environment the system will reserve its disks everu 30 seconds.

disk-remove [top]
Remove a spare disk. Removes the specified spare disk from the RAID configuration, spinning the disk down when removal is complete. You can use disk remove to remove a spare disk so that it can be used by another filer (as a replacement for a failed disk or to expand file system space). NOTE: Data ONTAP 7.0 and earlier releases don't indicate failure code properly.
Input Name Range Type Description
disk string
Disk to remove.

disk-replace-start [top]
Initiate replacing a file system disk with an appropriate spare disk. Uses Rapid RAID Recovery to copy data from the source file system disk to the destination spare disk. Roles of disks are reversed at the end of that process. The spare disk will replace the file system disk in the RAID group and the file system disk will become a spare. This process can be observed by polling disk-list-info for this disk and tracking values of elements copy-destination and copy-percent.
Input Name Range Type Description
disk string
Name of the file system disk to replace.
force boolean
optional
Allow replacement-disk to come from the opposite spare pool. Also allow replacement-disk not matching rotational speed of majority of disks in the aggregate.

disk-swap [top]
Prepare (quiet) bus for swap. Applies to SCSI disks only. It stalls all I/O on the filer to allow a disk to be physically added or removed from a disk shelf. Typically, this command would be used to allow removal of a failed disk, or of a file system or spare disk that was prepared for removal using the disk fail or disk remove command. Once a disk is physically added or removed from a disk shelf, system I/O will automatically continue. NOTE: It is important to issue the disk swap command only when you have a disk that you want to physically remove or add to a disk shelf, because all I/O will stall until a disk is added or removed from the shelf.
 Errno  Description
 EOPNOTSUPPORTED
 EALREADYSTARTED
 EINTERNALERROR

 
disk-unfail [top]
Unfail a disk in the broken pool, by clearing its FDR (Failed Disk Registry) entry and unfailing it at the Storage Layer, as necessary. If the "make-spare" option is set to B_TRUE, the disk is returned to the spare pool. Otherwise, label assimilation will bring the disk back according to its on-disk labels, with one of four possible outcomes. 1. Disk becomes a spare. This is the common case. The disk becomes a spare upon unfail, because its parent volume is complete and online. 2. Disk is assimilated into former volume. This is a recovery scenario. The disk is brought back into an existing volume, which may result in this volume coming back online. 3. Disk is assimilated into a new partial volume. This may occur in the rare case that the disk's former volume was destroyed or moved. 4. Disk returned to broken pool. This is the case if a fatal error occurs in process of unfailing the disk.
Input Name Range Type Description
disk string
Name of the disk, e.g. "v0.1".
make-spare boolean
optional
Specify 'true' to force the disk to become a spare upon unfail. Default value is 'false'.
 Errno  Description
 EINTERNALERROR

disk-update-disk-fw [top]
Start disk firmware download process to update firmware on disks. This operation is asynchronous, and therefore returns no errors that might occur during the download process. This operation will only update firmware on disks that do not have the latest firmware revision. The firmware revision on the disk can be monitored via the disk-list-info API.
Input Name Range Type Description
disk-list disk-name[]
optional
List of disks to be updated. If not specified, all disks are updated. Example: 4a.18 5b.16 switch1:10.126L4
 Errno  Description
 EINTERNALERROR
 EDISKNOTFOUND
 EINVALIDINPUTERROR

 
disk-zero-spares [top]
Set up all non-zeroed spares owned by the filer to start zeroing. This operation is asynchronous, and therefore returns no errors that might occur when the zeroing operation actually starts, which could be several seconds after this API operation completes. Zeroing progress can be monitored via the disk-list-info API. The "zeroing-percent" element of disk-detail-info is returned if disk zeroing has started, and "is-zeroed" returns TRUE once the zeroing has completed (or, if zeroing wasn't necessary in the first place).
 Errno  Description
 EINTERNALERROR
