4.4.3 Using Dedicated Sparing

A dedicated spare is a disk that you assign as an alternate disk for a spe-
cific array. Should a disk fail in that array, the alternate disk is used to
replace the failed disk and the array is rebuilt. A dedicated spare can be
assigned to any redundant array type, and up to four spares can be
assigned to an array.
