Compaq HSZ80 manual Enabling Autospare

4–15

Example

The following example shows the commands you would use to remove DISK60000 from the spareset.

SHOW SPARESET

Name	Storageset	Uses	Used by
SPARESET	spareset	disk60000
		disk60100

DELETE SPARESET DISK60000

SHOW SPARESET

Name	Storageset	Uses	Used by
SPARESET	spareset	disk60100

Enabling Autospare

With AUTOSPARE enabled on the failedset, any new disk drive that is inserted into the PTL location of a failed disk drive is automatically initialized and placed into the spareset. If initialization fails, the disk drive remains in the failedset until you manually delete it from the failedset.

To enable autospare, use the following syntax:

SET FAILEDSET AUTOSPARE

To disable autospare, use the following syntax:

SET FAILEDSET NOAUTOSPARE

During initialization, AUTOSPARE checks to see if the new disk drive contains metadata—the information that indicates it belongs to, or has been used by, a known storageset. If the disk drive contains metadata, initialization stops. A new disk drive will not contain metadata, but a repaired or re-used disk drive might. To erase metadata from a disk drive, add it to the controller’s list of devices, then set it to be TRANSPORTABLE and initialize it.
