First,is there a way to contain the volumes with hot spares? Secondly how do I make the first volume give up the disk on second shelf and recontruct it on spare which is physically present on first shelf.
You can't constrain things like that. Filers are pretty good in that they label each disk so you can juggle them around and it will recognise them correctly. ISTR that netapp do a good demo of that with a 3 disk volume. You should therefore be able to move the disks by: Identify which disks you want to swap and stick a post it note on each. Shutdown the filer. Swap the disks over. Cross Fingers. Power on.
