Trying to add new disks to my cluster. I have 52 spares, not counting extras for spares.
Changed max raid group size from 8 to 14. The current aggrs have 2 raid groups with 8 disks each.
aggr1_03 rg0,rg1
aggr1_04 rg0,rg1
So I do a simulate disk add to Ontap does this for each aggr:
rg0 = 8, rg1 = 14, rg = 14, rg = 6
Ontap adds 6 disks to rg1, created another group called rg2 and filled with 14 disks, then created another group called rg3 and added 6.
It was my understanding that ontap should fill rg0 to 14 (max rg size), fill rg1 to 14, then create another rg called rg2 and fill to 14, resulting in
rg0 = 14, rg1 = 14, rg2 =14
Why did I get the results I did on the simulate? I know I can put disks where I want manually, but if I let the os put the disks where it thinks, per best practice, should it not do the 14,14,14?
