set global-spare Description Designates spare disks for use by fault-tolerant (RAID 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50) vdisks. A global spare is available to any fault-tolerant vdisk with the same disk type. The system can have 16 global spares. Each must have enough capacity to replace the smallest disk in any existing vdisk. CAUTION: When setting global spares, the existing set of global spares is completely replaced by the newly specified set of disks. So, for example, if you want to add new global spares to the ones that already exist, you must specify all the existing global spare disks as well as the new disks that you want to add. Syntax set global-spare disks disks Parameters disks disks IDs of the disks to designate as spares. For disk syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20). Example Designate disk 1.5 as a global spare: # set global-spare disks 1.5 Info: Disk 1.5 configured as a Global Spare. Success: Command completed successfully See also • delete all-master-volumes • set spares • show disks 156
