To return a hot spare to the “available” state, use one of the following methods:
From the Enhanced Storage tool within the Solaris Management Console, open the Hot Spare Pools node and select a hot spare pool. Choose Action->Properties, then the Hot Spares panel and follow the instructions. For more information, see the online help.
Use the following form of the metahs command:
metahs -e hot-spare-slice |
Specifies to enable a hot spare.
Is the name of the slice to enable.
For more information, see the metahs(1M) man page.
# metahs -e c0t0d0s2 |
In this example, the command places the hot spare /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 in the “Available” state after it has been repaired. It is unnecessary to specify a hot spare pool.
