I need to create an aggr that will include all 60 disks in the stack 4, If I use the following command, it will give me 3 raidgroups with 16 disks, and 1 raidgroup with 12 disks. How do I change the command to result in 3 raidgroups, and 20 disks each?
storage aggregate create -aggregate node_2_sas_aggr2 -node node-02 -disklist 4.* -simulate true
Thank you in advance!

Maximum RG sizes can be dependent on drive type and drive size. What kind of drives are these and what are the respective sizes?

It's SAS 60X1.8TB
sonic latch
and that's why
default RG size for 10K SAS (capacity doesn't matter) is 16
there is a RAID group size parameter to manually specify the maximum
Use "-maxraidsize" in the same CLI

I saw the parameter, but didn't know it will result in a equal number , 20 here. Yes, it works, and give me 3x20 raidgroup size

Be sure that you do not exhaust your spares, though
otherwise, you'll be subjected to an hourly nag

I have enough spares in the other aggr, which can be shared by this new aggr, I believe

very good
