or as a global HotSpare.
Invoke AssignSpare() with the following parameters and syntax:
TARGET: This parameter is the FQDD of the DCIM_PhysicalDiskView (Section 16.9)
VirtualDiskArray: Array of ElementName(s) where each identifies a different VD, currently only one VD can
be passed
EXAMPLE:
winrm i AssignSpare http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_RAIDService ?SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_ComputerSystem

+Name=DCIM:RAIDService -u:[USER] -p:[PASSWORD]
-r:https://[IPADDRESS]/wsman -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic
-file:AssignSpare.xml

<p:AssignSpare_INPUT xmlns:p="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_RAIDService">
<p:Target>Disk.Bay.3:Enclosure.Internal.0-0 :RAID.Integrated.1-1</p:Target>
<p:VirtualDiskArray>Disk.Virtual.0 :RAID.Integrated.1-1</p:VirtualDiskArray>
</p:AssignSpare_INPUT>
OUTPUT:
AssignSpare_OUTPUT
RebootRequired = YES

Nonconformance to the following restrictions may result in the error message below.
 Virtual disk (VD) referenced (dedicated hot spare) is RAID-0, which cannot have hot spares
 Physical disk drive(PDD) is too small for the virtual disk referenced (dedicated hot spare)
 Physical disk drive is wrong type for the virtual disk (i.e. SATA PD to be used as hot spare for SAS VD)
 Similar conditions when no VD referenced, which is the global hot spare attempted assignment
