A mirrored volume has a failed disk, but there are no available spares in the pool from which the degraded plex was built. Data ONTAP will __________.

Data ONTAP does not halt all volume operations when a plex is degraded - the volume remains online and accessible in a degraded state.

SyncMirror pool isolation rules prohibit ONTAP from using disks from the opposite pool to reconstruct a plex, as this would violate the architectural separation between pools.

Data ONTAP enforces pool isolation in SyncMirror configurations, so it cannot use disks from the opposite pool. Instead, it warns the administrator that no spare disks are available in the correct pool, keeping the volume accessible in a degraded state while awaiting human intervention.

Data ONTAP has no built-in 24-hour timer that triggers an automatic halt when spares are missing - it continues to warn without forcing a shutdown.
