OM6.1 should be fine for hot spare assignment. There is a small error in the command that you tried. If you are planning to assign pdisk1:0:1 as a dedicated hotspare to vdisk0 try the below command.
omconfig storage vdisk action=assigndedicatedhotspare controller=1 vdisk=0 pdisk=1:0:1 assign=yes Thanks, Mohan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 6:33 PM To: Murali, Mohan G Cc: linux-poweredge-Lists Subject: Re: Find which pdisks make up a vdisk with omreport [email protected] wrote: > 1)The following link(Dell OM users guide) will help you to understand > the considerations for hot spare. > http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/6.2/en/OMSS/hots > pr.htm#wp206346 > 2)The following link explains the OM CLI syntax to assign a dedicated > host spare to a vdisk(check "omconfig Assign Dedicated Hot Spare" > section) > http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/6.2/en/CLI/HTML/ > storage.htm#wp1091778 > > Thanks, > Mohan Hi Mohan, Thanks for the links, I'm afraid we're running 6.1 here, I never managed to get 6.2 to work. I got as far as supporting all the ipmi checks but couldn't get it to find the perc storage controllers. I followed all the guides on here about installing extra dependencies too. I might try allocating it as a global hot spare then, although some of the arrays have drives larger than it's capacity. sudo omconfig storage pdisk action=assigndedicatedhotspare controller=1 vdisk=0 pdisk=1:0:1 assign=yes Password: Error!
