Problem

DataCollect output shows "Hotspare, Spun DOWN".

Error Message

"Hotspare, Spun DOWN".

Cause

Working as designed

Solution

The normal status of the Hotspare disks belonging to Storage Shelves will be displayed as 'Hotspare, Spun Down'.

Veritas Storage Shelf (Expansion unit) spins down the Hotspare disk in slot 16. The RAID controller doesn’t initiate that action and this normal and by design.

The base unit only has slots 0-7.  The expansion unit has slots 1-16.

The datacollect utility will reference "enclosure ID: 41 for an expansion unit where the based unit with be referenced with enclosure ID: 252.
