Chapter 5: Moving a Disk S helf to a Gateway 47
Checking the disks,
aggregates, and
volumes on the N
series storage
system
To compare the aggregate and volume names on the N series storage system and
the gateway.
6 If this is an HA pair and you want to use Multipath
Storage with it, configure the boot environment
variable required for the gateway with Multipath
Storage. You must set this environment variable for the
first disk shelf in each loop. “ Configuring the gateway environment
variable for Multipath Storage ” on

Stage Task Relevant procedure
Step Action
1 For Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode and 7.x releases, enter the following
command:
sysconfig -r
The output from this command shows information about all
aggregates, volumes, file system disks, spare disks, maintenance
disks, and failed disks.
2 Record the names of the disks on the disk shelves that you plan to
move and the aggregates and volumes on the disk shelves.
Note
Note if any of the aggregates span onto disk shelves that you do not
plan to move.
If you want to preserve the data on the disk shelf you are moving.
3 On the gateway, enter the following command:
sysconfig -r
4 Record the names of the aggregates and volumes on the gateway.
5 Compare the aggregates and volumes on the two systems to look for
duplicate names.
