PowerShell: Check for NetApp failed and unowned disks (CDOT)

Why I needed this

I received a call from a technician in another site one day to let me know that we had 3 amber lights in our NetApp cluster. While autosupport should have caught this, it didn't (one controller showed them pre-failed, and the other showed them as failed disks).

So I turned to my love of PowerShell and added to the NetApp functions I wrote that perform actions when connected to NetApp controllers. If you haven't seen those posts, check them out!

How to use this

You'll need to first be connected to a NetApp controller and have the NetApp PowerShell module installed. Once that part is completed, you can use the code below. I also like to set a global variable for $foregroundColor, and this script utilizes that.

The Code

What it will do

It will hunt down any failed or unowned disks. It will then prompt you to open the support page to open a new case. If it finds any unowned disks, it will give you the option to assign them to the controller of your choice.

As always, let me know if you have any feedback!
