Assigning disks to nodes

You can use Storage Manager to assign ownership of an unassigned disk to a specific node to increase the capacity of an aggregate or storage pool.

About this task

  • You can assign disks if the following conditions are true:

    • The container type of the selected disks must be unassigned.

    • The disks must be connected to nodes in an HA pair.

    • The disks must be visible to the node.

  • For MetroCluster configurations, you cannot use Storage Manager to assign disks.

    You must use the command-line interface instead.

  1. Click Storage > Aggregates & Disks > Disks.
  2. In the Disks window, select the Inventory tab.
  3. Select the disks that you want to assign, and then click Assign .
  4. In the Assign Disks dialog box, select the node to which you want to assign the disks.
  5. Click Assign .
