VNX2 Hot sparing rules
I'm curious if anyone has any direct experience with this because I've heard a lot of contradictory things.
When the VNX2 chooses a hot spare, from the MCx whitepaper, it goes through 4 steps seemingly in this order:
1. Drive type
2. Bus
3. Size
4. Enclosure
What is unclear to me (and this is where I've heard conflicting info) is whether #2 Bus actually takes priority over #3 size.
So for example, say I have a 600GB hotspare on bus0, and a 900GB hotspare on bus1. On bus1, I lose a 600GB drive. Which hotspare will be invoked? Since hotsparing is now permanent, I would hope that it is the 600GB hotspare on bus0, but the whitepaper seems to indicate otherwise.

Thanks, that's what i thought. Someone needs to educate EMC employees to do some research before they post.
