Is the Hot Spare used for all diskpools?
Hey,
I just created a diskpool and added a hotspare disk. I have some more diskspace and I created an new diskpool, and let one disk alone to try to use that as a hotspare for the new diskpool but it doesnt show up.. so my question or more of verification is:
Does the hotspare you assign go across Disk Pools so its used for all of them and gets assigned but the first faulty disk?
Best Regards

You posted in the Dell|EMC section, so I can only assume you have an AX100, AX150 or AX4-5 (on the CX-series (running Navisphere Manager instead of Navisphere Express the terminology is different).
Hotspares are indeed global. However, if you have an AX4-5 and are running SAS as well as SATA drives, you'd need a hotspare for each drive type.
