3.7.2.6 Create Hot Spare
When you choose the “Create Hot Spare” option in the “Raid Set
Function”, all unused physical devices connected to the current
controller will result in the screen.
Select the target disk by clicking on the appropriate check box.
Press the
Enter
key to select a disk drive and press
Yes
in the
“Create Hot Spare” to designate it as a hot spare.
The “Create Hot Spare” gives you the ability to define a global
or dedicated hot spare. Unlike “Global Hot Spare” which can be
used with any RAID sets, “Dedicated Hot Spare” can only be
used with a specific RAID set or Enclosure. When a disk drive
fails in the RAID set or enclosure with a dedicated hot spare is
pre-set, data on the disk drive is rebuild automatically on the
dedicated hot spare disk.
