Enabling Autospare

With AUTOSPARE enabled on the failedset, any new disk drive that is
inserted into the PTL location of a failed disk drive is automatically
initialized and placed into the spareset. If initialization fails, the disk
drive remains in the failedset until you manually delete it from the
failedset.

To enable autospare use the following command:

SET FAILEDSET AUTOSPARE

To disable autospare use the following command:

SET FAILEDSET NOAUTOSPARE

During initialization, AUTOSPARE checks to see if the new disk drive
contains metadata—the information that indicates it belongs to, or has
been used by, a known storageset. If the disk drive contains metadata,
initialization stops. (A new disk drive will not contain metadata but a
repaired or re-used disk drive might. To erase metadata from a disk
drive, add it to the controller’s list of devices, then set it to be
TRANSPORTABLE and initialize it.)

Deleting a Storageset

If the storageset you are deleting is partitioned, you must delete each
partitioned unit before you can delete the storageset. Use the following
steps to delete a storageset:

1. Show the configuration using the following command:

SHOW STORAGESETS

2. Delete the unit number shown in the “Used by” column. Use the

following command:

DELETE

unit-number

3. Delete the name shown in the “Name” column. Use the following

command:

DELETE

storageset-name

4. Verify the configuration using the following command:

SHOW STORAGESETS
