This maybe a simple question. I have an old FAS2050 i am playing around with. It has 20x 300GB disks in it. however an aggregate has been created utilising 9 disks. RAID-DP has been used and i know 2 of the disks will be used for parity.
My query is this.
When i am in the oncommand system manager i can see under disks all of the disks that have been used to create the aggregate all them have an effective size of 265.63. The remaining disks all of the other have an effective size of 0bytes is this right?
if i try to create a new aggregate on this san i get the error you do not have sufficient disks to create a 'RAID-DP' aggregate.
Is it because these other drives are faulty which is why they are not reporting a size?
Apologies is this is a stupid question but if you dont ask you will never know.
Cheers.
