DUse the disk remove command.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

Steps to Unfail a Disk in Maintenance Mode:

When a disk is marked as 'failed,' it is added to the Failed Disk Registry and marked as unusable by the system. Unfailing a disk involves removing it from this registry and resetting its state.

Step 1: Remove the Disk from the Failed Disk Registry

Use the command: registry remove <disk> to delete the disk from the Failed Disk Registry. This clears its 'failed' status.

Step 2: Use the Disk Unfail Command

Execute the disk unfail <disk> command to reset the disk status and make it available for use.

Key Notes:

After unfailing, the disk will be treated as a spare and must be reassigned or re-added to an aggregate.

If the disk remains failed after these steps, physical hardware issues may need to be addressed.

NetApp Reference Documentation:

The 'ONTAP Maintenance Mode Guide' and 'Disk Management Guide' provide detailed instructions for handling failed disks and using the disk unfail command.

I'm pretty sure A and D are the way to go. Reseat the disk and use the disk remove command. Easy peasy.

C is definitely not the right answer. There's no such thing as a "disk unfair command"! Sounds like a joke to me.

I feel like the "disk remove" command might be the right choice, but I can't remember if it’s necessary for unfailing the disk.

I’m a bit confused; I thought we had to remove it from the Failed Disk Registry, but I can't recall if that's one of the steps.
