MAP31F0 No spare drives are available for an array that is configured for spare drives

This MAP is used to explain why the replacements of drives in this serviceable event must occur immediately.

About this task

  1. It is critical to repair at least one of the drives listed in this FRU list to create an available spare. The remaining failed drives in this FRU list should be replaced as soon as possible, and then drives listed in other open serviceable events can be replaced.
    Note: Each DA pair (pair of device adapter cards) has a preset number of spare drives assigned in the attached storage enclosures. These spare drives serve as backups for failing drives in arrays with customer data. The customer data on the failed drive is reconstructed and written onto the spare which then becomes part of the active array. The failed drive is replaced and then becomes a spare. SRC BE304100 is reported when there are no longer any available spares on this DA pair because none of the failed drives have been replaced. If another active drive fails, the customer will lose access to all data on this array until at least one failed drive is replaced, which will create an available spare.
