Expanding an SC4020 - drives auto allocating as spares
Expanding an SC4020 - drives auto allocating as spares
Hi All,
I have a client who has recently added 6 x1.92 SSD's to a all flash SC4020, however 3 of the drives have auto allocated as spares, is there a reason for this and is it simple to amend ?
Thanks
Rich

Hello Rich,
How many drive do you have total in your SC4020? Do you have any additional enclosures attached to your SC4020?
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi,
Originally it had 12 SSD's (1.92 in 11+1 R6) and we have added in 6 of the same drives and it has moved to 18 drives (15+3)..... They are all in the raid header ie no DAE
Thanks for your help.

Hello Rich,
Yeah by default it is not suppose to move the drives to spares until you tell it to move to the spares. We would need to look at the logs from your system to see why that happened.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
