Removing a Global Hot Spare
If you need to increase the available capacity of your disk array, you can do so by removing
a global hot spare. The global hot spare will be added to the unassigned disk group and can
be used to bind a LUN. However, the loss of the global hot spare may make your disk array
more vulnerable when a disk failure occurs.
To remove a global hot spare:
1. On the main SAM screen, double-click the Disks and File Systems icon.
2. On the Disks and File Systems screen, double-click the Disk Devices icon. The Disk
Devices list is displayed. There is an entry for each disk array controller.
3. Select a controller for the appropriate disk array from the Disk Devices list.
4. Select the Actions menu, the Disk Array Maintenance menu option, and then Remove
Hot Spare. The Delete Hot Spare screen is displayed showing all current global hot
spares, which are identified by a blue status indicator.
5. Select the global hot spare you want to remove.
6. Click O
K
to remove the global hot spare and exit the screen, or click Apply if you want
to remove additional global hot spares.
