Answer

The message "There are not enough spare disks" indicates that during the takeover process, the node that is taking over detected a shortage of spare disks. 
This is a specific condition where the system identifies that there are not enough spare disks available to maintain redundancy and fault tolerance. 
This message does not indicate the cause of the takeover but rather a condition that was detected during the takeover process.
