How to Remove a Hot Spare Pool (Command Line)

After checking the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Removing DiskSuite Objects") and the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Removing Hot Spares and Hot Spare Pools"), use the metaparam(1M) and metahs(1M) commands to remove a hot spare pool. For more information, refer to the metaparam(1M) and metahs(1M) man pages.

Example -- Removing a Hot Spare Pool

# metastat
...
d30: Mirror
    State: Okay
...
d31: Submirror of d30
    Hot spare pool: hsp001
...
d32: Submirror of d30
    Hot spare pool: hsp001
...
# metaparam -h none d30
# metaparam -h none d31
# metahs -d hsp001
hsp001: Hotspare pool is cleared

This example shows how the hot spare pool hsp001 is removed. To find out the hot spare pool associations, use the metastat command. The metastat output shows two submirrors, d31 and d32, using hot spare pool hsp001. The metaparam command with the -h and none options removes the association to the hot spare pool, first for submirror d31, then d32. When the hot spare pool has no more associations, it is removed with the metahs -d command.
