Managing hot spares
You may configure one disk as a global hot spare to protect critical data on the
IM/IME volume(s). You may create the hot spare disk at the same time you create
the IM/IME volume. Refer to this section when adding a hot spare on an existing
volume.
If a disk on IM/IME volume 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
