Disk Failed when adding a new empty disk

          

Some versions of the simulator may complain when a new disk is added using the setup.sh script; if you find that a disk is marked as failed when the simulator starts. To bring the disk online use the following commands:

sim> vol status -r

At this point you should note the disks that are marked as failed.

sim> priv set advanced
sim*> disk unfail <disk number>

Some versions of ONTAP will not unfail a disk with a -s option to turn them into a spare disk - this would be:

sim*> disk unfail -s <disk number>
