Hi there,
I'm trying to make a spare drive the "hot spare", without rebooting my
OpenBSD 3.9 server. Bioctl is letting me at least query my raid array,
but it's not letting me set an "Unused" drive to "Hot Spare":
# bioctl -i ami0
Volume Status Size Device
ami0 0 Online 297999007744 sd0 RAID5
0 Online 149967339520 0:3.0 noencl <WDC ...>
1 Online 149967339520 0:1.0 noencl <WDC ...>
2 Online 149967339520 0:2.0 noencl <WDC ...>
ami0 1 Unused 149967339520 0:4.0 noencl <WDC ...>
# bioctl -H 0:4 ami0; echo $?
0
# bioctl -i ami0
Volume Status Size Device
ami0 0 Online 297999007744 sd0 RAID5
0 Online 149967339520 0:3.0 noencl <WDC ...>
1 Online 149967339520 0:1.0 noencl <WDC ...>
2 Online 149967339520 0:2.0 noencl <WDC ...>
ami0 1 Unused 149967339520 0:4.0 noencl <WDC ...>
The above-listed "..."s can be replaced with "WD1500ADFD-00NLR19.0"
Things that *do* work from bioctl:
* Viewing the status of my array (when OK, rebuilding, and substituting
in a hot spare that was configured as such from the LSI "BIOS" menu)
* Quieting the alarm after a drive failure.
Things that *do* work from LSI "BIOS" menu:
* Set a spare drive as a "Hot Spare"
I'll save solution speculation until I hear from you...
Cheers,
Matthew
