Hot-spare Pools are only available with the
IBM Advanced SerialRAID/X Adapter
This page displays the Hot-spare Pools which are available for use by the RAID 1, 5 & 10 array resources attached to the selected adapter.
Hot-spare Pools can only protect arrays on the same SSA loop, network. The Pool ID contains the Network ID and the pool number.
Array members can be assigned to use Hot-spare Pools on an individual basis. On the relevant Disk View select u>Assign Hot-spare Pool.
If an array member which is 'Rejected' was not assigned to a pool while it was a member of the array, and the Hot-spare Enabled array attribute is set to 'On', the array can use the Global Hot-spare Pool on the relevant network. These pools are named A0 and B0 respectivly.
Note: | Hot-spare resources created on adapters other than the IBM Advanced SerialRAID Adapter/X will be assigned to its network's global pool when viewed from the IBM Advanced SerialRAID/X Adapter. |
Hot-spare Pool Attributes:
Pool Icon (Good) This shows the current
state of the Pool. In this case, the pool is healthy. Concise information
relating to the pool is displayed when this icon is selected. JavaScript
Popup. Pool Icon (Fault) This icon is displayed if a fault
has been detected with the relevant pool. This is an animated gif, the red disk cycles through all three Hot-spare disks, 1000 iterations. Concise information relating to the pool is displayed when this icon is selected. JavaScript Popup. Pool ID: The pool identifier. Select this to
view the relevant Hot-spare Pool View. Status: The
status of the pool. Network ID: The SSA loop which this pool
protects. Hot-spare Pool Status
The number of Hot-spare disks in the pool equals the number of Hot-spare drives that are configured for the pool.
The pool contains no Hot-spare disk drives, or the Hot-spare disk drives that are in the pool are not suitable as member disk drives of the pool. The number of Hot-spare disks in the pool is less than the number of Hot-spare disk drives that were originally configured, but greater than the minimum number. of Hot-spare disk drives for that pool. The number of Hot-spare disks in the pool is less than the
specified minimum number of Hot-spare disk drives for that pool. Configuration data for the Hot-spare pool is saved on all Hot-spare disk drives. The Hot-spare disk drives that are in the pool, however, do not contain the same configuration data. 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. 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 drive that is from another
pool. Hot-spare disks exist in the pool, but they are not protecting
any array components. Actions:
