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 may 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. Follow steps 1–3 of the section Viewing volume properties .
2. From the View Volume screen, select Manage Volume , then press <Enter>.
3. From the Manage Volume screen, select Manage Hot Spares , then press <Enter>.
