Salam Azamat,

How many disks you have? and which raid you want to configure? and what OS?

Do you have the default built-in controller or a smartarray (P400)?
It depends on the hardware and the OS what you can do online or offline.

customer has 5 disk... but he have 2 raid1, and he didn`t create the 5-th disk in hot spare... and now, i need do it...(((( But he don`t want reboot server

operating system???
Controller model???

[Azamat]

they(customers) have on one server HP-UX 11i v2, and on another server Open VMS...
this servers only with the default built-in controller

For hp-ux see the man page for sasmgr.

According to this:
(an example!)

Add a spare disk to the Core I/O card / HBA whose device file is
/dev/sasd0 :

sasmgr add -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid -q spare -q enc_bay=1:4
