Dear Managers,

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

Ch Id Size Speed LD Status IDs Rev

As noticeable, two disks 0.10 and 0.13 have the same serial number,
therefore I assume this is some logical error. However, I would like to
resolve this issue 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
