Body

The following is an example of setting up four drives that have the drive type code DKR5D-J600SS as spare drives:

{
  "additionalSpareDrives": [
    {
      "driveTypeCode": "DKR5D-J600SS",
      "driveCount": 4
    }
  ]
}

Attribute	Type	Description
additionalSpareDrives	object[]	Drive information to set for the spare drive: (Required) driveTypeCode (string) Specify a drive type code consisting of 12 characters.* Example: DKR5D-J900SS (Required) driveCount (int) Specify the number of drives as an integer from 1 through 1440.
* The spare drive setting can be specified for drives with a different drive type code, even if the drive conditions (drive type, drive interface, drive rotation speed, and drive capacity) are the same. The system specifies the spare drive setting for drives that match the drive conditions, regardless of the drive type code you specify. You can check information about the drives specified as spare drives by running the API request for getting drive information.
