Chapter 2: RAID configuration
Managing hot spares
You may configure one disk as a global hot spare to protect critical data on the RAID 1/1E/10
volume(s). You can create the hot spare disk at the same time you create the RAID 1/1E/10
volume. Refer to this section when adding a hot spare disk on an existing volume.
If a disk on an RAID 1/1E/10 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:
1.
From the
Adapter Properties
screen, use the arrow keys to select
RAID Properties
,
then press <Enter>.
2.
From the
Select New Volume Type
screen, click
View Existing Volume
.
