I think you have misread the OP.
mdgm is correct.
The OP wanted a single hot spare in the main chassis to be able to replace a failed disk in either chassis and then for the new disk that is added to replace the failed disk to become a hot spare for both the main unit and the EDA500 again.
Currently we have "Automatic Global Spare" for free disk that in each chassis. So if there are free disk in Host Chassis and Volume in JBOD failed, It will not do auto recovery. So I will have to wait and see if single disk spare can be support on multiples chassis as I have no idea what they will design.
You can ping PLM for feature request.
