Applies to

  • Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO)
  • Spare disks

Answer

CVO doesn’t support the use of hot spares for redundancy.
 
Creating unused disks (hot spares) attached to a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance is an unnecessary expense and may prevent provisioning additional space as needed. Therefore, it’s not recommended.
