5–108CLI Commands

SET FAILEDSET

Changes the automatic replacement policy for the failedset.

Syntax

SET FAILEDSET

Switches

AUTOSPARE

NOAUTOSPARE

Specifies the policy to be used by the controller when a disk drive is physically replaced in the failedset.

Specify AUTOSPARE to instruct the controller to automatically move devices physically replaced in the failedset into the spareset. Disks set to REMOTE cannot be autospared.

Specify NOAUTOSPARE to instruct the controller to leave devices physically replaced in the failedset. The device, though replaced, remains in the failedset until it is manually removed with the DELETE FAILEDSET command.

In most circumstances, a disk physically replaced into the failedset is functional and contains no metadata—that is, a new, initialized device. If you specify the AUTOSPARE switch when a disk is physically replaced in the failedset, the controller checks to see if any metadata is present. If the controller detects metadata, the disk remains in the failedset. If the controller does not detect metadata, the controller automatically initializes the disk and moves it from the failedset to the spareset. Now a member of the spareset, the disk is available for any mirrorset or RAIDset requiring a replacement member. If the automatic initialization fails, the disk remains in the failedset.
