IR Volume State values are as follows:
 Okay (OKY) – The volume is active and drives are functioning properly. User data is protected if the current
RAID level provides data protection.
 Degraded (DGD) – The volume is active. User data is not fully protected because the configuration has changed
or a drive has failed.
 Failed (FLD) – The volume has failed.
 Missing (MIS) – The volume is missing.
 Initializing (INIT) – The volume is initializing.
 Online (ONL) – The volume is online.
Physical device State values are as follows:
 Online (ONL) – The drive is operational and is part of a volume.
 Hot Spare (HSP) – The drive is a hot spare that is available to replace a failed drive in a volume.

Ready (RDY) – The drive is ready for use as a normal disk drive, or it is ready to be assigned to a volume or a hot
spare pool.
 Available (AVL) – The drive might not be ready, and it is not suitable for use in a volume or a hot spare pool.
 Failed (FLD) – The drive failed and is now offline.
 Missing (MIS) – The drive has been removed or is not responding.

Standby (SBY) – The device is not a hard-disk device.
 Out of Sync (OSY) – The drive, which is part of an IR volume, is not in sync with other drives that are part of
the volume.
 Degraded (DGD) – The drive is part of a volume and is in degraded state.
 Rebuilding (RBLD) – The drive is part of a volume and is currently rebuilding.

Optimal (OPT) – The drive is optimal and is part of a volume.
Physical device Drive Type values are as follows:

SAS_HDD – The drive is a SAS HDD.
 SATA_HDD – The drive is a SATA HDD.
 SAS_SSD – The drive is a SAS SSD.
 SATA_SSD – The drive is a SATA SSD.
Physical device Protocol values are as follows:
 SAS – The drive supports SAS protocol.
 SATA – The drive supports SATA protocol.
A.3.6 HOTSPARE
The HOTSPARE command adds a hot spare drive to spare pool 0 or deletes a hot spare drive. The capacity of the hot
spare drive must be greater than or equal to the capacity of the smallest drive in the RAID volume. Determine if this is
true by using the DISPLAY command on the drive.
Observe the following rules when creating hot spare disks:
 You cannot create a hot spare disk unless at least one RAID 1, RAID 10, or RAID 1E volume already exists.
 You cannot create a hot spare and add it to an inactive Integrated RAID volume.
