Specifies the disk numbers to be used as spare disk(s). Multiple disks must be enclosed in parenthesis. Assigning a spare disk to an unit in a drive group will assign the spare disk to all the configured units in the drive group. If an unit is created on a disk group to which a spare disk is assigned, then the spare disk will be configured to the new unit (if it is not a RAID 0 unit). One spare disk can be assigned to multiple drive groups. Ensure that the size of the spare disk is at least equal to the size of the smallest drive in the drive group. Format: /SPARE=(disk_number[,...]) Note: The disk numbers for the existing disks can be obtained using the SHOW DISKS command.
