How to Add a Hot Spare Slice to a Hot Spare Pool (Command Line)

After checking the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Creating DiskSuite Objects"), and the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Creating Hot Spare Pools"), use the metahs(1M) command to add a slice to a hot spare pool. Refer to the metahs(1M) man page for more information.

The added hot spare follows whatever hot spares already exist in the hot spare pool.

Example -- Adding a Hot Spare Slice to One Hot Spare Pool

# metahs -a hsp001 /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2
hsp001: Hotspare is added

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.

Example -- Adding a Hot Spare Slice to All Hot Spare Pools

# metahs -a -all /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2
hsp001: Hotspare is added
hsp002: Hotspare is added
hsp003: Hotspare is added

The -a and -all options add 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.
