Example 5: To Create a Hot Spare Pool

This example shows how to create a hot spare pool that contains an array member disk
drive and a hot spare disk drive. The attributes of the disks are all set to their default
values.

Type the command:

> ssaraid -C -l ssa0 -t spare_pool -n pool_B1 -s pdisk0 pdisk3

where:

-C

specifies that this operation is a create operation.

-l ssa0

specifies that RAID Manager ssa0 is to be used.

-t spare_pool

specifies that a spare pool is to be created.

-n pool_B1

specifies the name of the hot spare pool that is to be created. The

format of the name must match the pool_XY format, where X defines the SSA loop
and has a value A or B, and Y is a number 1 through 31.

-s pdisk...

specifies the free pdisk that is to become the member disk of the hot

spare pool. Valid members are RAID array member disk drives and hot spare disk
drives.

Note: Not all RAID managers provide support for the hot spare pool function.

Example 6: To List All Defined SSA Objects

This example shows how to list all the defined SSA objects that are at present
connected in summary format to a particular RAID manager.

Type the command:

> ssaraid -I -z -l ssa0

where:

-I

specifies that this operation is a list operation.

-z

specifies that the output is to be presented in summary format.

-t raid_5

specifies that a RAID-5 array object is to be created.

-l ssa0

specifies that all SSA objects that are connected to RAID Manager ssa0 are

to be listed.
