Goal
This document describes the two kinds of hot spare drives available in a Sun Storage 6320 array and how to add them.
There are two kinds of hot spare (standby) drives available in the Sun Storage 6320: dedicated and global.
Solution
Dedicated hot spare :
- It is only used for the pool in which it was created.
- It can be added when creating a pool for the first time or when modifying a pool using a profile that has a dedicated hot spare.
- You can not add a dedicated spare to a profile that is in use.
Add dedicated hot spare using sscs cli:
Syntax:
# sscs create -a array-name -t tray-id [-d number-of drives ] -r RAID-level -s {0 | 1} pool pool-name
Example:
# sscs create -a array00 -t 2 -d 4 -r 5 -s 1 pool hspool
The "-s 1" adds the hot spare.
You can then use a profile to modify the pool by removing or adding a hot spare.
Syntax:
# sscs modify -a array_name -p profile_name pool pool_name
Example:
# sscs modify -a array00 -p joe pool hspool
In the example above, applying the "joe" profile to the hspool removes the
hot spare.
Add a dedicated hot spare from the Configuration Services GUI:
- Expand the array list (array00, as used in the example).
- Expand the pool list.
- Select the pool to which you want to add the hot spare.
- In the right window, click the "Apply Different Profile" button.
- Select the profile from the displayed list. To view details of the profile, click the profile name.
- Click the Save button.
Global hot spare :
- It is used for the array that it is part of.
- A global hot spare is added to an array.
- A global hot spare can be added at anytime as long as there are unused drives, other than d1.
- The maximum number of global hot spares allowed in an array is 8.
Add a global hot spare using sscs cli:
Syntax:
# sscs modify -h hot-spare-drive-count array array-name
Example :
# sscs modify -h 2 array array00
The above example adds 2 global hot spares to array array00.
Add a global hot spare from the Configuration Services GUI:
- Select "SE6000 Arrays" from the left column
- In the right screen, select the array to which you are adding the spare.
- Click the Configure button.
- Under the "Array array_name Properties" window, find the option "Array Hot Spare Pool Size:", which lists the number of global hot spares for this array.
- Change the number of disks to increase or decrease the number of global spares for this array.
- Click the Save button to apply the change.
