Summary
The spare command displays a list of hot spare drives and creates, modifies, and deletes
hot spare drives.
A global hot spare can replace a failed drive from any redundant disk array.
A dedicated hot spare is assigned to one or more redundant disk arrays, and can only
replace a drive that belongs to one of the assigned arrays.
A revertible hot spare can transition back to spare status after it replaces a failed drive in a
disk array. See the transit command.
The hot spare drive must be of equal or greater size than the drive it replaces. The spare
drive must be the same media type, HDD or SSD, as the other physical drives in the disk
array.
