46 Tasks to perform before disconnecting the shelf
Tasks to perform before disconnecting the shelf
Task list The following table shows the tasks to perform before disconnecting the disk
shelf from the N series storage system.
Stage Task Relevant procedure
1 Check the disks, aggregates, and volumes on the N
series storage system. “ Checking the disks, aggregates, and
volumes on the N series storage
system
” on page 47
If you want to preserve your data when you move the
disk shelf to the gateway, check for duplicate
aggregate and volume names between the two systems.
Change the aggregate and volume names on the disks
on the disk shelf you are moving, as necessary.

page 48
◆
“ Renaming a volume ” on page 49
2 If the root volume for the N series storage system is on
the disk shelf you are moving, and you still need the
root volume for the N series storage system, move the
root volume to another disk shelf that is to remain with
the N series storage system
◆
If you need to move the root
volume to another disk shelf on
the N series storage system, see
the Data ONTAP
Storage
Management Guide for
information about moving
volumes.
3 If you want any other aggregates or volumes on the
disk shelf you are moving to remain on the N series
storage system, move them to a disk shelf that will
remain on the N series storage system. Information about moving aggregates
and volumes in the Data ONTAP
Storage Management Guide
4 If you want the data on the disk shelf to be preserved,
turn off the automatic disk assignment functionality
before moving the shelf. “ Turning off automatic disk
assignment ” on page 49
5 Change ownership of the disks on the disk shelf you
are moving from the N series storage system to the
gateway.
Note
Complete this step before you move the disk shelf.

storage system disks to a gateway ” on
