2.2.4 Spare Management
You may configure one disk as a global hot spare to protect critical data on RAID
set(s). You may create the hot spare disk before or after you create a RAID set.
Refer to this section when adding a hot spare disk on an existing volume.
If a disk on a RAID set fails, the utility automatically rebuilds the failed disk
data on the hot spare. When the failed disk is replaced, the utility assigns the
replacement as the new hot spare.
To create a hot spare
1. From the utility menu bar, select RAID > Spare Management, and then
press <Enter>. The Spare Management screen appears.
