SRN#49500 in service guide says:

Description: No hot spare disk drives are available for an
array that is configured for hot spare disk drives.

Action: If the SSA service aids are available, run the Link
Verification service aid (see “Link Verification Service Aid” on
page 210) to find any failed disk drives, failed SSA links, or
power failures that might have caused the problem.
If you find any faults, go to the Start MAP (or equivalent) in
the unit Installation and Service Guide to isolate the
problem, then go to 35 on page 272 of MAP 2324: SSA
RAID to return the array to the Good state.
If the SSA service aids are not available, or the Link
Verification service aid does not find any faults, go to “MAP
2324: SSA RAID” on page 260 to isolate the problem.
