Event ID — 2161

Description Dedicated hot spare unassigned.
Severity OK / Normal / Informational
Cause and Action Cause: A physical disk that was assigned as a hot spare has been unassigned and is no longer functioning as a hot spare. The physical disk may have been unassigned by a user or automatically unassigned by Storage Management. Storage Management unassigns hot spares that have been used to rebuild data. Once data is rebuilt onto the hot spare, the hot spare becomes a member of the virtual disk and is no longer assigned as a hot spare. You need to assign a new hot spare to maintain data protection in this situation. On the CERC SATA1.5/6ch, and CERC SATA1.5/2s controllers, if you use another application such as the BIOS to include a hot spare in a virtual disk, then Storage Management unassigns the physical disk as a hot spare.

Action: Although this alert is provided for informational purposes, you may need to assign a new hot spare to the virtual disk.
