# metaparam -h hsp100 d10 # metaparam -h hsp100 d11 # metastat d0 d0: Mirror Submirror 0: d10 State: Okay Submirror 1: d11 State: Okay ... d10: Submirror of d0 State: Okay Hot spare pool: hsp100 ... d11: Submirror of d0 State: Okay Hot spare pool: hsp100 ... |
The -h option associates a hot spare pool, hsp100, with two submirrors, d10 and d11, of mirror, d0. The metastat command shows that the hot spare pool is associated with the submirrors.
# metaparam -h hsp001 d10 # metastat d10 d10: RAID State: Okay Hot spare pool: hsp001 ... |
The -h option associates a hot spare pool named hsp001 with a RAID 5 volume named d10. The metastat command shows that the hot spare pool is associated with the RAID 5 volume.
