IOM12 shelves to the stack of IOM6 shelves, you need to manually assign drive
ownership and then reenable automatic drive assignment if needed.
Before you begin
You must have already cabled your shelf as instructed for your system.
Cable shelves for a hot-add
Steps
1.
Display all unowned drives:
storage disk show -container-type unassigned
If you have an HA pair, you can enter the command on either controller module.
2.
Assign each drive:
storage disk assign -disk disk_name -owner owner_name
If you have an HA pair, you can enter the command on either controller module.
You can use the wild card character to assign more than one drive at once.
3.
Reenable automatic drive assignment if needed:
storage disk option modify -node node_name
-autoassign on
If you have an HA pair, you must reenable automatic drive assignment on both controller modules.
Change a shelf ID - shelves with IOM12 modules
You can change a shelf ID in a system when ONTAP is not yet running or when hot-
adding a shelf prior to it being cabled to the system. You can also change a shelf ID when
ONTAP is up and running (controller modules are available to serve data) and all drives in
the shelf are unowned, spares, or part of offlined aggregate(s).
Before you begin
• If ONTAP is up and running (controller modules are available to serve data), you must have verified that all
drives in the shelf are unowned, spares, or part of offlined aggregate(s).
You can verify the state of the drives by using the
storage disk show -shelf shelf_number
command. Output in the Container Type column should display spare or broken if it is a failed drive.
Additionally, the Container Name and Owner columns should have a dash.
• You can verify shelf IDs already in use in your system by running Active IQ Config Advisor or using the
storage shelf show -fields shelf-id command.

About this task
• A valid shelf ID is 00 through 99.
• Shelf IDs must be unique within an HA pair or single-controller configuration.
If you have a platform with internal storage, shelf IDs must be unique across the internal disk shelf and any
externally attached disk shelves.
