megaclisas-status and Hotspare

[Tuxdiver]

Hi,

we have an unconfigured hotspare drive and megaclisas-status reports the RAID as not optimal.

This patch fixes it for me:

                        else:

Not sure, if it could be 'Hotspare' only...

Best regards,

Hi Dirk,
Thanks for the patch. I've merged your patch into my repo. I'm going to issue a new PR for the main repo. Please test again when it's released.
Thanks,
Vincent

Hello
I have the same situation, but in my case the hotspare was in spun down state shown as: 'Hotspare, Spun down'.
Eventually also adding this to the check could probably be helpful for others. In my case I changed the hotspare to be in spin up state with this (for adapter 0):
megacli -AdpSetProp -DsblSpinDownHSP -1 -a0
I think it is more useful to have the hotspare also in use (spinning) and be able so see when it fails, as it may not spin up when it would be needed for recovery.

bye
Fabian

Hey,

I merged the big pull request from elcoyote including this one.
Also, I'll have Hotspare, Spun Down to the whitelist.

Regards, Adam.

Hey,
Thanks for the merge.
Just a thought: Are we sure if we should consider 'Hotspare, Spun Down' to be OK?
Thanks,
Vincent

Hello,

Well it seems to be some kind of power saving feature. A friend also have the same behaviour on its RAID and the drive is definitely not broken, so yes, I guess…
