Summary
The transit command starts, stops, pauses, and resumes a transition and monitors the
progress of a running transition.
Transition is an operation to replace a revertible spare drive currently used in a disk array
with an new physical drive, so the reveritible spare can be restored to spare drive status.
The destination drive can be an uncongured drive, a non- revertible global spare, or a non-
revertible spare dedicated to the array.
During transition, the data on the revertible spare is transferred to the destination drive
while the disk array remains online. After transition, the destination drive becomes the part
of the array and the revertible spare is a spared drive once again.
Note that the destination drive must be the same media type, HDD or SSD, as the other
physical drives in the disk array.
