HA GROUP ERROR: DISK/SHELF COUNT MISMATCH ERROR

When a disk enters maintenance center on one node (There will be lot of reason behind this (One reason is it’s not a valid disk to use it)), the partner may not be aware of this. This may result in one node excluding the disk in its disk inventory, while the partner including the same disk in its inventory. This will result in generating "cf.disk.inventory.mismatch" and "CLUSTER ERROR: DISK/SHELF COUNT MISMATCH" auto support.

If the disk in the maintenance center is repaired after testing, the disk inventory mismatch will be automatically resolved. If the disk in the maintenance center is failed after testing, the disk should be removed.
