Description
AutoReplace
The spare drive becomes a data drive
when the rebuild is complete.
AutoReplace spares cannot be shared
across arrays.
OnlineSpareMode is only supported on select HP Smart Array Px2x controllers and later.
OnlineSpare
The value for this option determines whether the array specified previously in the script will be configured
with spare drives.
The interface type for drives and spare drives must match, for example, all SAS or all SATA.
•
X:Y,...: Port:Id for controllers that use Port/Id drive numbering schemes. For controllers using
Box/Bay numbering schemes, use Box:Bay.
•
X:Y:Z,...: Port:Box:Bay for SAS controllers

o
Reconfigure mode: If the OnlineSpare option is not specified, the spare state of the array will remain
unchanged.
•
N: N number of spares will be added to the array. SSA Scripting will choose the best available, unused
physical drives for the spares.
SplitMirror
This option splits the original mirrored volumes into individual RAID0 volumes, optionally hiding the new
volume from the OS. SplitMirror also recombines volumes. The command will only execute if scripting is
started with the -offline command line option and the join target volumes are not in use by the OS.
SplitMirror operates on the following volumes:
•
RAID1
•
RAID10
•
ADM
SplitMirror uses the following commands:
•
SplitWithBackup: The mirrored array is split into two new arrays and the newly created array is
hidden from the OS.
•
Rollback: The two arrays are recombined using the backup array as source data. Any changes made
to the online array are lost.
•
Remirror: The two arrays are recombined using the online array as source data.
•
ActivateBackup: The backup volume is made visible to the OS.
