[Veritas-vx] spare disks in a DG

[VP]

I had added  4 new disks to an existing DG (vxdiskadm) because I was running out of space  and I don't know how they became spare.
Is this normal ; if not, how do I undo it.
Thanks

I'll use Solaris as an example. The Symantec documentation is easy to
search.
*VxVM 5.1 Admin Guide Solaris*, page 483 found on sort.symantec.com
