containing the failed disk as the hot spare. In this circumstance, a disk not previously assigned as a global hot spare becomes a hot spare through failure or
removal.
To ensure that the controller firmware always has a healthy physical disk as a global hot spare, do the following:
l When removing a physical disk that is assigned as a global hot spare, unassign the hot spare before removal and reassign another physical disk as the
global hot spare.
l Immediately replace any physical disk that has failed or been removed. This ensures that a healthy disk resides in a slot that the controller firmware
assumes is a hot spare.
