SerialSCSI-00 (sasd) B.11.31.1003 Mass Storage Driver Release Notes, Edition 2 (June 2010)

(Replace X with the instance of the SAS controller.)
• Swapping Spare Disks
Consider the following when you swap physical disks in a RAID volume controlled by an
HP 8 Internal Port SAS Controller:
— Before swapping a spare disk, delete it using sasmgr(1M):
sasmgr delete -D /dev/sasdX -q raid -q spare
(Replace X with the instance of the SAS controller.)
After the new disk is installed, use sasmgr(1M) to configure the new disk as spare:
sasmgr add -D /dev/sasdX -q raid -q spare -q enc_bay=<enc>:<bay>
(Replace X with the instance of the SAS controller and <enc>:<bay> with the location
of the disk to be configured as spare.)
— By default, RAID volumes are created with Auto-Configure enabled. If you swap a
physical disk that is part of a RAID volume, a resync begins and data on the new disk
is lost. Do not insert a replacement disk unless you are sure that existing data is backed
up.
