    We have IBM SSA D40 disk array. For loop-A there have 7 disks as RAID5 and
    one hot spare disk. The hot spare look like have bad sectors and I want
    replace it. I use "smit" to check disk:

    smit
       SSA RAID Array
           Change/Show Use of an SSA Physical Disk
    # SSA physical disks that are hot spares. x
                  x # Disks in Loop A are:
    x
                  x pdisk3 0040AA1DC6E000D spare good 18.2GB disk

    How to change it from "spare" to "free" before I use "rmdev -dl pdisk3" to
    remove it?

    Thanks.
