There are two steps which must be completed to create a new Hot-spare disk, or Hot-spare Pool.
Define the Hot-spare attributes. All attributes
are explained below. Select the resource(s) to create the Hot-spare disk or
pool. Candidate disks are
'Free' disks which possess the relevant
attributes as defined in step 1.
Candidates can also be Hot-spare disks which belong to the
relevant SSA loop's Global Pool when you
are creating a Hot-spare Pool. i.e. the resources in pools
A0 or B0.
Note:
Hot-spare Disk Attributes:
Block Size: The physical block size
of records on the disk. This must be 512. Support of 524 is for a
specialised application. Selecting the information icon displays a suitable JavaScript popup. Hot-spare Pool Attributes:
Network ID: The SSA loop this pool will
protect.
You will only be presented with candidates available on the
chosen SSA loop. Hot Spare Pool Number: The pool number
to be given to this new pool.
The default value is the next available pool number on the
selected SSA loop.
Note:
Note:
Minimum Number of Hot Spares in Pool: The minimum number of hot spare disks that can be available in the pool before an error is raised.
Actions:
This action submits the attributes and displays the
candidate list. This action aborts the Hot-spare creation, and returns to the
relevant Resource List.
