    move cursor on this disc, press return

    then you see something like

      SSA RAID Manager ssa0
      SSA Physical Disk pdisk32
      CONNECTION address 002035E2781100D
      Current Use Hot Spare Disk
    +

    and can change "current use" with tab-key or f4

    Subject: [Q] How to remove hot spare disk from SSA D40 array?

    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.
