When a disk fails it makes a note in etc/.broken_disks

To reuse it, you need to unfail the drive from the advanced mode

priv set advanced
disk unfail <disk_name>
priv set admin

I wouldn't do this unless you're sure the disk is good (like what
happened to us this past week with a faulty FCAL controller).

Autosupport mail will tell you (in most cases ... ) if a disk has been
broken.

You may also check device_map (abbreviated example below):

nfs15> fcstat device_map 9
Shelf 0: 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Shelf 1: 14 13 12 11 XXX 9 8

The XXX marks a failed disk

The info may also be found in <netapp>:/etc/.broken_disks
