set global-spare 161

set global-spare

Description Designates spare disks for use by fault-tolerant (RAID 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50) vdisks. A global spare is

available to any fault-tolerant vdisk with the same disk type. The system can have 16 global spares.

Each must have enough capacity to replace the smallest disk in any existing vdisk.

CAUTION: When setting global spares, the existing set of global spares 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.
