● To convert the physical disk drives and assign or delete a hotspare. To scan physical disks connected to
a controller and detect problem, run the following command:
racadm storage converttononraid:<PD FQDD>
racadm storage converttoraid:<PD FQDD>
racadm storage hotspare:<Physical Disk FQDD> -assign yes -type dhs -
vdkey: <FQDD of VD>
racadm storage hotspare:<Physical Disk FQDD> -assign yes –type ghs
racadm storage hotspare:<Physical Disk FQDD> -assign no
racadm storage patrolread:<controller FQDD> -state start|stop
NOTE:
If the –assign option is no, you cannot add other options. If the –assign option is yes
and if the -type option is not present, the global hotspare (ghs) is created by default.
