I've got an odd problem where the array believes that the hot spare is missing but from what I can see the actual drive is part of a disk group. Can I go through a remove of the hot spare process, will this leave the drive group intact?
Based on the screen shots that you have provided you are not showing as having any hot spare drives. The best way to confirm this is to look at a support bundle to confirm that all drives are currently part of a disk group & virtual disk.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
I sent you a private message so that you can send me your support bundle so that I can review it. By looking at your support bundle I can see what is going on with disk in slot 9.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for the support bundle. The drive in slot9 is in use and is not a hot spare drive. At one time it looks to have been a hot spare drive, but it is no longer as it is assigned to your Tier2 disk group and in use. What you can do is to either get an expansion enclosure or get lager drives to add more space to your MD3200.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
