This page displays the selected Hot-spare Pool attributes. The Hot-spare disk resources and the array components that atre protected by this pool are shown. Select a serial number to display the Disk View.
For more information regarding the use of Hot-spare Pools see the Hot-spare Pool List help.
Hot-spare pool Attributes:
Network ID: This is the SSA loop which this pool can protect.
Hot-spare Pool is synchronised: If the pool contains the same hot-spare disks as when it was last updated.
Hot-spare Pool Number: The pool number on this loop.
Number of Hot-spares in Pool (Actual): The actual number of Hot-spare disks currently available for use by arrays configured to use this pool.
Hot-spares in Pool (Configured): The number of hot-spare disks which were originally configured for this pool. That is, the number required for the pool to be considered full.
Minimum Number of Hot-spares in Pool: The minimum number of Hot-spare disks that can be present without the pool raising an error. If this number is greater than the Actual number, the pool will raise an error
Hot-spare Pool Status
The number of Hot-spare disks in the pool equals the pool size.
There are no Hot-spares disks in the pool. The number of Hot-spare disks in the pool is less than the configured
number but greater than the minimum number. The number of Hot-spare disks in the pool is less than the
specified minimum number for that pool. Two or more of the Hot-spare Pools have conflicting information.
That is, possibly one of the Hot-spare Disks has been assigned,
or exchanged into the wrong pool. There are array components without hot-spare protection. One or more array
components that are members of this pool are larger than the largest
available Hot-spare Disk. Assign a new Hot-spare Disk into the pool
which is larger, or the same size as the largest array component that
is protected by this pool. An array in this pool has used a Hot-spare disk from another
pool. Hot-spare disks exist in the pool, but they are not protecting
any array components.

Hot-spare Disk Member Attributes:
Resource Icon: The colour depicts the current usage of the disk. In this case yellow for Hot-spare. Concise information relating to the resource is displayed when you select the icon. JavaScript Popup
Serial Number: The unique identifier of this disk.
Size: The capacity of the resource, in gigabytes.
Status: The disk status, see the status list for a list of valid states.
Array Components Protected by this Pool:
Resource Icon: The colour depicts the current usage of the disk. In this case purple for Component. Concise information relating to the resource is displayed when you select the icon. JavaScript Popup
Serial Number: The unique identifier of this disk.
Status: The disk status, see the status list for a list of valid states. This column may also contain further information regarding the validity of the component:
Unprotected - the pool is empty or the Pool's Hot-spare disks are not valid for this component.
Too large - there are hot-spares in this pool which are too small for this component.
Wrong pool - this component was replaced with a hotspare from an unpreferred pool.
Type: The type of the array this resource is a component of.
RAID: The name of the array this resource is a component of.
Actions:
This action updates the current page. This action allows you to add another Hot-spare disk to
this pool. A list of candidates will be shown,
these are the disks which are currently 'Free'
and those which are in the Global Pool. This action allows you to modify the attributes of this pool. That is,
to modify the Minimum Number of Hot-spare disk resources
this pool may have before an error is raised. This action allows you to delete a Hot-spare Pool and return all the
Hot-spare disk resources to the relevant Global Pool
