To add a slice to an existing hot spare pool, use one of the following methods:
From the Enhanced Storage tool within the Solaris Management Console, open the Hot Spare Pools node. Choose the hot spare pool you want to change. Choose Action⇒Properties. Then, choose the Hot Spares panel. For more information, see the online help.
Use one of the following forms of the metahs command:
# metahs -a hot-spare-pool-name slice-to-add |
# metahs -a -all hot-spare-pool-name slice-to-add |
Specifies to add the slice to the specified hot spare pool.
Specifies to add the slice to all hot spare pools.
Specifies the slice to add to the hot spare pool.
See the metahs(1M) man page for more information.
You can add a hot spare to one or more hot spare pools. When you add a hot spare to a hot spare pool, the hot spare is added to the end of the list of slices in the hot spare pool.
In this example, the -a option adds the slice /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 to hot spare pool hsp001. The system verifies that the slice has been added to the hot spare pool.
# metahs -a hsp001 /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 hsp001: Hotspare is added |
In this example, the -a option used with all adds the slice /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 to all hot spare pools configured on the system. The system verifies that the slice has been added to all hot spare pools.
# metahs -a -all /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 hsp001: Hotspare is added hsp002: Hotspare is added hsp003: Hotspare is added |
