set vdisk-spare Description Designates spare disks for use by a fault-tolerant (RAID1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50) vdisk. A dedicated spare is assigned to a fault-tolerant vdisk with the same disk type. A vdisk can have four spares. Each must have enough capacity to replace the smallest disk in that vdisk. CAUTION: When setting dedicated spares, the existing set of dedicated spares for the specified vdisk 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 vdisk-spare disks disks vdisk Parameters disks disks IDs of the disks to designate as spares. For disk syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20). vdisks Name or serial number of the vdisk to assign spares to. For disk syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20). Example Designate disk 1.5 as a spare for vdisk VD1: # set vdisk-spare disks 1.5 VD1 Info: Disk 1.5 added to VD1. Success: Command completed successfully.
