Check Prerequisites for Creating Solaris Volume Manager Elements.
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, then choose the hot spare pool you want to change. Choose Action->Properties, then choose the Components panel. For more information, see the online help.
Use the following form of the metahs command:
metahs -a hot-spare-pool-name slice-to-add |
Use -a for hot-spare-pool-name to add the slice to the specified hot spare pool.
Use -all for hot-spare-pool-name to add the slice to all hot spare pools. 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, it is added to the end of the list of slices in the hot spare pool.
# metahs -a hsp001 /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 hsp001: Hotspare is added |
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 -all /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 hsp001: Hotspare is added hsp002: Hotspare is added hsp003: Hotspare is added |
In this example, 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.
