Installing replacement Global Hotspare
Hi - hopefully a simple one!
I have a 36 disk dssv6 server - 2 x 17 disk RAID6 arrays with 2 global hotspares.
One disk failed and one of the global hotspares kicked in and did its job fine .
I have now replaced the defective disk with a new one which I would like to make the second Global hotspare - this has been recognised and is showing as good in the H/w RAID.
However, under the Physical Disk Configuration it is saying that "some of the disk is foreign", and under Foreign Configuration Restore I have an option to Apply or Clear Configuration:0 and/or Configuration: all.
Please can you advise what steps I need to take to get the replacement disk showing as online so I can make it a global hotspare?
Many thanks.
