PS6000XV, Hot Spare disk spinning ?
Hello,
We are doing a setup of a PS6000 XV and one question pop-up in our discution :
Are the Hot Spare disks spinning or are they just in standby mode (not spinnig) ?
I can't find this information writen back on white on the net.
Regards,

Generally hotspares are fully spinning. I cannot say 100% for sure with Equallogic arrays, but from what I've seen based on lights (sound/noise is hard to distinguish from the rest of the enclosure and the other systems in the rack and racks around it).

Hi,
We asked the question to the DELL support, they told us that the Hot Spare Disk are not spinning.
However the Hot Spare Disk spins some times when the disk bay is doing sanity checks on them.
