How to forcefully reassign assigned disks on a NetApp Filer
We had to do some emergency maintenance with a new NetApp shelf a few days ago and found that because we were working with an older version of the firmware, there were commands that did not exist on the filer so we ended up using the GUI and CLI to work around the problem.
Note: Some of the commands may not be necessary but I wanted to list all the steps we had to take to get this to work so I’ve highlighted the steps that is possibly not needed in RED. Please also take note that we had a small window to work with so the instructions below may not abide by best practices.
Task: Disks in the new shelf has been assigned to 2 separate controllers (6 each).
Problem: We could not find the command to unassign the disks in this version of the firmware so we had to use the combination of the GUI and CLI to remove the disk from the controller and then reassign it to another.

It almost looks like nothing was changed and here’s why:
FAC01*> disk remove_ownership 0b.17
Note: Disks may be automatically assigned to this node, since option disk.auto_assign is on.
Volumes must be taken offline. Are all impacted volumes offline(y/n)?? y
Notice that the message indicates that disk.auto_assign is turned on so in order to have these disks remain unassigned, we need to execute the following:
FAC01*> options disk.auto_assign off
You are changing option disk.auto_assign which applies to both members of
the cluster in takeover mode.
This value must be the same in both cluster members prior to any takeover
or giveback, or that next takeover/giveback may not work correctly.
Sun Sep 26 21:25:53 EST [PHMSFAC01: reg.options.cf.change:warning]: Option disk.auto_assign changed on one cluster node.
FAC01*>
FAC02*> options disk.auto_assign off
You are changing option disk.auto_assign which applies to both members of
the cluster in takeover mode.
This value must be the same in both cluster members prior to any takeover
or giveback, or that next takeover/giveback may not work correctly.
Sun Sep 26 21:25:53 EST [PHMSFAC01: reg.options.cf.change:warning]: Option disk.auto_assign changed on one cluster node.
FAC02*>Now in order to reassign these disks, we had to
unfail it with the command:
disk unfail <disk name>
disk unfail 0b.19
disk unfail 0b.17
disk unfail0b.21
Here’s what the SSH session looks like:
FAC01*> disk unfail 0b.17
disk unfail: unfailing disk 0b.17...
FAC01*> Sun Sep 26 21:28:16 EST [FAC01: raid.disk.unfail.reassim:info]: Disk 0b.17 Shelf 1 Bay 1 [WDC WD1002FBYS-05ASX NA01] S/N [WD-WMATV8015493] was unfailed, and is now being reassimilated

Now that we’ve unfailed the disks as well as turned off disk.auto_assign, we can execute the remove_ownership command again:
FAC01*> disk remove_ownership 0b.17
Volumes must be taken offline. Are all impacted volumes offline(y/n)?? y
FAC01*> disk remove_ownership 0b.19
Volumes must be taken offline. Are all impacted volumes offline(y/n)?? y

A disk show now shows the 3 disks being assigned to the other active controller.
Sorry about the extra steps I included so they may or may not be required to change assigned disks from one controller to the other.
Note: Some of the commands may not be necessary but I wanted to list all the steps we had to take to get this to work so I’ve highlighted the steps that is possibly not needed in RED. Please also take note that we had a small window to work with so the instructions below may not abide by best practices.
Task: Disks in the new shelf has been assigned to 2 separate controllers (6 each).
Problem: We could not find the command to unassign the disks in this version of the firmware so we had to use the combination of the GUI and CLI to remove the disk from the controller and then reassign it to another.

It almost looks like nothing was changed and here’s why:
FAC01*> disk remove_ownership 0b.17
Note: Disks may be automatically assigned to this node, since option disk.auto_assign is on.
Volumes must be taken offline. Are all impacted volumes offline(y/n)?? y
Notice that the message indicates that disk.auto_assign is turned on so in order to have these disks remain unassigned, we need to execute the following:
FAC01*> options disk.auto_assign off
You are changing option disk.auto_assign which applies to both members of
the cluster in takeover mode.
This value must be the same in both cluster members prior to any takeover
or giveback, or that next takeover/giveback may not work correctly.
Sun Sep 26 21:25:53 EST [PHMSFAC01: reg.options.cf.change:warning]: Option disk.auto_assign changed on one cluster node.
FAC01*>
FAC02*> options disk.auto_assign off
You are changing option disk.auto_assign which applies to both members of
the cluster in takeover mode.
This value must be the same in both cluster members prior to any takeover
or giveback, or that next takeover/giveback may not work correctly.
Sun Sep 26 21:25:53 EST [PHMSFAC01: reg.options.cf.change:warning]: Option disk.auto_assign changed on one cluster node.
FAC02*>Now in order to reassign these disks, we had to
unfail it with the command:
disk unfail <disk name>
disk unfail 0b.19
disk unfail 0b.17
disk unfail0b.21
Here’s what the SSH session looks like:
FAC01*> disk unfail 0b.17
disk unfail: unfailing disk 0b.17...
FAC01*> Sun Sep 26 21:28:16 EST [FAC01: raid.disk.unfail.reassim:info]: Disk 0b.17 Shelf 1 Bay 1 [WDC WD1002FBYS-05ASX NA01] S/N [WD-WMATV8015493] was unfailed, and is now being reassimilated

FAC01*> Sun Sep 26 21:28:23 EST [FAC01: raid.disk.unfail.reassim:info]: Disk 0b.19 Shelf 1 Bay 3 [WDC WD1002FBYS-05ASX NA01] S/N [WD-WMATV7977641] was unfailed, and is now being reassimilated

FAC01*> Sun Sep 26 21:28:27 EST [FAC01: raid.disk.unfail.reassim:info]: Disk 0b.21 Shelf 1 Bay 5 [WDC WD1002FBYS-05ASX NA01] S/N [WD-WMATV7977856] was unfailed, and is now being reassimilated
Now that we’ve unfailed the disks as well as turned off disk.auto_assign, we can execute the remove_ownership command again:
FAC01*> disk remove_ownership 0b.17
Volumes must be taken offline. Are all impacted volumes offline(y/n)?? y
FAC01*> disk remove_ownership 0b.19
Volumes must be taken offline. Are all impacted volumes offline(y/n)?? y
FAC01*> disk remove_ownership 0b.21
Volumes must be taken offline. Are all impacted volumes offline(y/n)?? y
FAC01*> disk show

NOTE: Currently 3 disks are unowned. Use 'disk show -n' for additional information.
FAC01*>
Notice how there are 3 disks stated as being unowned now. The final step is to hop over to the controller that you want to assign the disks and execute the following:
FAC02*> disk assign 0b.17
disk assign: Assign failed for one or more disks in the disk list.
FAC02*> disk assign 0b.17
Sun Sep 26 21:39:34 EST [FAC02: diskown.changingOwner:info]: changing ownership for disk 0b.17 (S/N WD-WMATV8015493) from unowned (ID -1) to FAC02 (ID 135048330)
FAC02*> disk assign 0b.19
Sun Sep 26 21:39:39 EST [FAC02: diskown.changingOwner:info]: changing ownership for disk 0b.19 (S/N WD-WMATV7977641) from unowned (ID -1) to FAC02 (ID 135048330)
FAC02*> disk assign 0b.21
Sun Sep 26 21:39:43 EST [FAC02: diskown.changingOwner:info]: changing ownership for disk 0b.21 (S/N WD-WMATV7977856) from unowned (ID -1) to FAC02 (ID 135048330)
FAC02*>
A disk show now shows the 3 disks being assigned to the other active controller.
Sorry about the extra steps I included so they may or may not be required to change assigned disks from one controller to the other.

Try:
FAC01> options disk.auto_assign off
FAC01> disk assign 0b.17 0b.19 0b.21 -s unowned -f
FAC02> disk assign 0b.17 0b.19 0b.21
Done.

Has anybody ever ran into this issue? Any help would be much appreciated!
