			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently had a hard drive fail on my IBM N3700 SAN.  The spare disk automatically took over when the disk failed.  This is a good thing.  IBM sent a replacement the next day and I was able to swap it out.  Unfortunately the N3700 did not know what to do with the new drive.  I assumed it would automatically make the new drive the online spare.  Wrong.</p>
<p><span id="more-59"></span></p>
<p>Here are a few commands to try and fix the problem.  You will need to be at the command line of your device for this to work.</p>
<p><strong>disk show -n </strong> Show all the disks that are not assigned to a pool</p>
<p><strong>disk assign auto</strong> Assign the unassigend disk to a pool automatically</p>
<p><strong>disk show -v</strong> Show all the disks on your SAN</p>
<p>The new disk I received needed to be added to Pool 0 on my N3700.  The disk assign auto command did not work.  The following command did the trick though.</p>
<p><strong>disk assign 0b.17 -p 0</strong></p>
<p>0b.17 is the &#8220;Disk&#8221; name of the drive that was not owned.  You can find out the &#8220;Disk&#8221; name after you issue the &#8220;disk show -n&#8221; command.  The &#8220;-p&#8221; switch is for Pool and &#8220;0&#8243; is the Pool name</p>
<p>To confirm that the new disk is in the correct Pool you can issue the &#8220;disk show -v&#8221; command.</p>
