set vdisk-spare 199

set vdisk-spare

Description Designates spare disks for use by a fault-tolerant (RAID1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50) vdisk. A dedicated spare

is assigned to a fault-tolerant vdisk with the same disk type. A vdisk can have four spares. Each must

have enough capacity to replace the smallest disk in that vdisk.

CAUTION: When setting dedicated spares, the existing set of dedicated spares for the specified

vdisk is completely replaced by the newly specified set of disks. So, for example, if you want to add

new global spares to the ones that already exist, you must specify all the existing global spare disks

as well as the new disks that you want to add.
