nimble hf20 disk spare

[cc16]

Does the display of the hard drive status as' spare 'indicate that this hard drive is a hot spare?

Hi cc16

The answer is "No." This indicates that an incorrect part has been installed, and in the ideal case, it should show as in use "not spare" even if no spare part is available.

Hope this helps.!!

Can you show me the question I sent the first time and provide some suggestions? Thank you very much

Correct. Adding to it, nimble/alletra 5k-6k arrays does not have the concept of dedicated spare drive.

Okay, thank you very much for your answer. Also, I would like to inquire if nimble has the function of automatically reconfiguring and synchronizing storage pools even when the hard drive is being refactored and unplugged, and then plugged back in? Because I noticed that the PowerPoint presentation mentioned this feature.

That is correct. Nimble arrays have only one pool and it automatically takes care of rebuilding from other RAID members up on replacement/unplug-plug back of disks.

Okay, thank you
