You are creating an aggregate on a new FAS8200 with two DS224C shelves. Your customer wants to be able to use the Disk Maintenance Center.
In this scenario, what is the minimum number of spare disks required per node and disk type?

In this scenario, what is the minimum number of spare disks required per node and disk type?
In a NetApp FAS8200 system with Disk Shelves, the Disk Maintenance Center requires a minimum of two spare disks per node and disk type to ensure efficient disk maintenance and redundancy. This is to allow the system to enter disks into maintenance mode without compromising the operational integrity of the node. Having two spares ensures there is a backup available even when one disk is under maintenance.
Correct is C: Data ONTAP puts disks into the maintenance center only if there are two or more spares available for that disk. https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196912/html/GUID-64DD2F53-E696-4F2E-883A-A50EEB16FF4A.html
C = 2 is the minimum and required today. https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Software/ONTAP_OS/Maintenance_Center_Frequently_Asked_Questions
D 1 disk 2 disks are recommended but only 1 is required.
