Steps: To change the dedicated spares of a disk group,

1. In the Pools topic, select the linear pool for the disk group that you are modifying in the pools table. Then, select the disk group in the Related Disk Groups table.
2. Select Action > Change Disk Group Spares. The Change Disk Group Spares panel appears on the screen.
3. To add dedicated spares, select available disks. SPARE appears on each selected disk.
4. To remove dedicated spares, select current spares. SPARE no longer appears on the selected disk.
5. Click Change.
6. To close the confirmation panel, click OK

Hope this helps!
