Disk Replacement for NetApp filer (FAS3170, FAS3240)


1. Login to filer and verify the device address of the failed disk via command line

filer02> vol status -f

Note: device address usually has the form ., e.g, 0a.18, 0a.20

2. Physically identify the failed disk by locating an amber light blinking on and off on the lower part of the disk.

3. If you cannot see any amber light, got to advanced mode and turn ON the led by issuing the commands below:

filer02> priv set advanced
filer02*> led_on 0a.19

4. If you still cannot see any amber light blinking, manually turn on the leds on the neighboring disks to locate the faulty disk:

filer02*> led_on 0a.18
filer02*> led_on 0a.20

5. When the location of the failed disk has been verified, remove it by pulling the latch and pulling it partially.
Wait for 2 minutes to let it spin down then remove it afterwards. During this process, you can see the messages below
popping out from the terminal.

filer02*> Wed Mar  5 20:21:23 EST [filer02:fci.adapter.link.online:info]: Fibre Channel adapter 1a link    online.
Wed Mar  5 20:21:23 EST [filer02:fci.adapter.link.online:info]: Fibre Channel adapter 0a link online.
Wed Mar  5 20:21:30 EST [filer02:raid.disk.missing:info]: Disk 0a.19 Shelf 1 Bay 3 [NETAPP          X291_S15K6420F15 NA01] S/N [3QQ0MSBX00009922S2N5] is missing from the system
Wed Mar  5 20:21:54 EST [filer02:config.BadPoolAssign:warning]: Disk 1a.27 is in Pool1 and other disks on this loop/domain are in Pool0. Disks/Interfaces need to be in separate pools for SyncMirror.

6. Insert the new disk by pushing the latch in upward position until it snaps into place. Wait another 2 minutes
to let the synchronization finish. Messages below will appear during this process.

filer02*> Wed Mar  5 20:23:16 EST [filer02:fci.adapter.link.online:info]: Fibre Channel adapter 1a link online.
Wed Mar  5 20:23:16 EST [filer02:fci.adapter.link.online:info]: Fibre Channel adapter 0a link online.

NOTE: sometimes, that message don;t appear

7. The amber light should stop illuminating by now. If not, turn it off manually:

filer02*> led_off 0a.19

8. Go back to admin mode (exit advanced mode) and assign the disk to the filer.

filer02*> priv set
filer02> disk assign 0a.19  --> use the device ID on the line with .. is missing from the system

10. Verify the new disk. You can see below that the new disk replaced the spare disk that was used during the rebuilt of data when the
original disk has failed.

filer02> aggr status -s
