Summary
This command allows the user to start, stop, pause or resume a transition as well as to check on the progress of
a running transition.
Transition is an operation to replace an used revertible spare in the pool with an appropriate physical drive, which
is called the destination drive. The destination drive can be an uncongured drive, a non-revertible global spare,
or a non-revertible dedicated spare to the pool.
During transition, the data on the revertible spare is transferred to the destination drive while IO is going on.
After transition, the destination drive becomes the part of the pool; the revertible spare becomes available for later
use.
