Goal
This document provides the steps to resolve the alarm xx.66.1203 - Missing Hot Spare Drive that can be raised by the array management software. While this problem can be seen in 6.x and 7.x controller firmware versions, it is much more prevalent in 7.x. If you see this problem on array running 6.x controller firmware, please contact Oracle support for a resolution. The balance of this document assumes 7.x controller firmware.
There are two primary ways this problem can be created:
- The actual removal of a drive that has been assigned as a Hot Spare Drive.
- Not unassigning a Hot Spare Drive that has failed before replacement.
As the first problem is easily fixed by inserting the removed Hot Spare Drive, this document will focus on the second cause. This problem can also be easily avoided by unassigning the failed Hot Spare Drive from the Hot Spare list before attempting to replace it.
