ONTAP 9.12.1 commands

For further information, see the latest controller or NVRAM FRU replacement flyer for your system. This command changes the ownership of all disks on a node to the ownership of another node. Use this command only when a node has a complete failure (for instance, a motherboard failure) and is replaced by another node. If the node’s disks have already been taken over by its storage failover partner, use the -force parameter.

In the following example, a node named node0 and having serial number 12345678 has failed. Its disks have not been taken over by its storage failover partner. A replacement node with serial number 23456789 was installed and connected to node0’s disk shelves. To assign node0’s disks to the new node, start the new node and run the following command:

In the following example, a similar failure has occurred, except that node0’s disks have been taken over by its storage failover partner, node1. A new node with serial number 23456789 has been installed and configured. To assign the disks that previously belonged to node0 to this new node, run the following command:
