when you are in 536r2 u dont have access to disk unfail command,
use rather this :
filer> rc_toggle_basic
filer*> disk_erase_label 8b.3
really ??? yes
then , remember that you might have to reboot the filer in order to be
able to see the disk back as spare as you type sysconfig -r
also , i would advise you to cycle power off-on disks shelf too when you
reboot the filer (due to the old ontapp version :o)
