How to Replace a Hot Spare in a Hot Spare Pool (Command Line)

After checking the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Maintaining DiskSuite Objects"), and the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Replacing Hot Spare Pools"), use metahs(1M) to replace the hot spare. Refer to the metahs(1M) man page for more information.

Example -- Replacing a Hot Spare in One Hot Spare Pool

# metastat hsp003
hsp003: 1 hot spare
        c0t2d0s2                Broken       5600 blocks
# metahs -r hsp003 c0t2d0s2 c3t1d0s2
hsp003: Hotspare c0t2d0s2 is replaced with c3t1d0s2

The metastat command makes sure that the hot spare is not in use. The metahs -r command replaces hot spare /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s2 with /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2 in the hot spare pool hsp003.

Example -- Replacing a Hot Spare in All Associated Hot Spare Pools

# metahs -r all c1t0d0s2 c3t1d0s2
hsp001: Hotspare c1t0d0s2 is replaced with c3t1d0s2
hsp002: Hotspare c1t0d0s2 is replaced with c3t1d0s2
hsp003: Hotspare c1t0d0s2 is replaced with c3t1d0s2

The keyword all replaces hot spare /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 with /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s2 in all its associated hot spare pools.
