Dear Managers,

the following issue deals with the Sunstoredge 3310. I have following
raid configuration on my Sun Storedge:

As noticeable, two disks 0.10 and 0.13 have the same serial number,
therefore I assume this is some logical error. However, I must resolve
this topic and configure the disk as global-spare. I use sccli version
2.3.0. So my questions are as follows:

1) How to resolve the issue with the two same serial numbers?
   Is this one or two disks? Recently one of the disks was broken so SUN
technician exchanged it.

2) Disk 0.10 has a status USED. I assume the status is USED as some
previous filesystem resides on the disk.
   However, since I want to use it as the global spare do I have to
format it or I can use it as it is and simply initiate:
   sccli> configure global-spare 0.10

Thank you in advance, I will summarize.

Kind regards,
Marijan Mumdziev
