HP Spare Drives
I would like to know how to telll if an HP drive is as called spare or hot spare.? Sometimes I see a drive with no lights blinking, but it is no easy to tell if it's a hot spare or is a dead drive.
I know that there is an HP ACU (Array Configuration Utility) , but I am not sure if it will show individual disk drives?
We also use HP insight Manager , I would like to know from HPSIM if there is a way to look at the specific HP server and tell which drive is a spare and how the drives are configured.
Thanks

I wonder if there is a tool or a script that can retrieve the configuration of the drives instead of going to ACU on each server.
HP operations Manager I believe should do that. it's very expensive though.
HP Insight Manager , I am not sure it will give you the configuration of the drives,but I believe can give you an alert if the configured drive has failed.
