"unknown". What is causing this status?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Understanding "Container Type: Unknown" in Disk Show Output:
The "unknown" container type typically indicates that the disk is not properly configured or recognized by ONTAP.
This status often occurs when a disk does not have an owner assigned.
Root Cause:
For a disk to be used in an ONTAP system, it must be owned by a member of the high-availability (HA) pair.
If no ownership is assigned, the disk will not be initialized, resulting in an "unknown" container type.
Steps to Resolve:
Use the disk assign command to manually assign ownership of the disk.
Example: storage disk assign -disk <disk_name> -owner <node_name>
