After the disk is replaced, use
sasmgr(1M)
to configure the new disk as spare:
sasmgr add -D /dev/sasdX -q raid -q spare -q enc_bay=<enc>:<bay>
(where
X
is the instance of the SAS controller and
<enc>:<bay>
is the location of the disk
to be configured as spare).
•
By default, RAID volumes are created with Auto-Configure enabled. If you replace a physical
disk which is part of a RAID volume, a re-sync will start automatically and all data on the
new disk will be lost. Do not insert a replacement disk unless you are sure that any existing
data has been backed up.
