VA7400 changing hot spare mode.
As this seemed like overkill for our purposes I changed it to "Largest Disk" in command view, but commandview still shows the same amount of space set aside for "Active spare" (66Gb per redundancy group). Surely this should be 33Gb per redundancy group if the setting has been changed correctly?
Do I need to do anything else to make this setting take effect, or can it not be changed once there are active LUNS on the array?
One other question, can you change from Raid 1+0 to autoraid whilst there is live data on the array, or do you need to remove all the luns first?
many thanks

Re: VA7400 changing hot spare mode.
Try using the command line utility armmgr to make the changes.
To modify the active spare:
# armmgr -h LargestDisk
To modify the RAID level:
# armmgr -C HPAutoRAID
The armdsp utility will show you the configuration of your VA7400.
# armdsp -a

Re: VA7400 changing hot spare mode.
While you can concurrently switch from Raid0/1 to AutoRaid you can not reverse this.
Going from AutoRaid to Raid0/1 means backup, reformation of the array and restore!
Cheers

Re: VA7400 changing hot spare mode.
Hot Spare = Largest Disk.
But when I go into command view its still showing 66Gb assigned to Active spare for both redundancy groups. So whilst it says its changed to "Largest Disk", the amount of disk space reserved for the active hot space is still that of "2x Largest Disk".
Any ideas
thanks
