How to Enable a Hot Spare (Command Line)

After checking the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Maintaining DiskSuite Objects"), and the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Replacing Hot Spare Pools"), use the metahs(1M) command to bring a hot spare back to the "available" state. For more information, refer to the metahs(1M) man page.

Example -- Enabling a Hot Spare

# metahs -e c0t0d0s2

This example places the hot spare /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 in the available state after it has been repaired. You do not need to specify a hot spare pool.
