How disks are assigned to spare pools when SyncMirror is enabled

All spare disks are in Pool0 unless the SyncMirror software is enabled. If SyncMirror is enabled on a hardware-based disk ownership storage system, all spare disks are divided into two pools, Pool0 and Pool1.

For hardware-based disk ownership storage systems, disks are automatically placed in spare pools based on their location in the disk shelves, as follows:

• For the FAS900 series and the R200:
  • Pool0 - Host adapters in expansion slots 1-7
  • Pool1 - Host adapters in expansion slots 8-11
• For the FAS3020 and FAS3050:
  • Pool0 - Onboard ports 0a, 0b, and host adapters in expansion slots 1-2
  • Pool1 - Onboard ports 0c, 0d, and host adapters in expansion slots 3-4
