AssignSpares (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (AssignSpares)

NameData TypeValue
DescriptionstringThis method assigns one or more primordial StorageExtents as spares. Once a spare is assigned, the storage system can use it to spare a failed StorageExtent associated to a StorageRedundancySet. Depending on the capabilities of the storage system, the spare may failover the failed extent or may remain a spare. The spare extents may be designated to spare for a specific StorageRedundancySet (dedicated) or may be used to spare for any compatible StorageRedundancySet (global).
