How to check for the hot spare disk in MD3460
Good Morning Dell Community,
Hello,
I manages 6 OSTs. Each OST fills with 12 disks in 5 drawers. One disk status is "Impending Failure (reported by physical disk). My question is:
* Can i replace the Impending failure disk now or wait until the disk completely failed with he red X indicator.
- Currently, the Service action (removable) allowed = No (with red x)
* If i replace it now, how can i check if there is a hotspare.
Note: from the MDSM > Hardware > Hot Spare Coverage > View/Change View Change hot spare coverage > Summary. The Total hot spare physical disks = 0, Standby = 0, In Use = 0. Is that meant i dont have the hot spare. If i dont have the Hot spare, when replacing the falure disk, i have to UNCHECK the box "Copy content of the physical disk before failing".
Thank you very much for your help.
