Hot spare is a standby physical disk that can repair a degraded RAID device by automatically
replacing a failed disk. Setting a hot spare will minimize degraded array state.
Click the Hot spare button to call the dialog to set a hot spare for a RAID. Select devices to be added

It is possible to assign one standby physical disk as a hot spare to be shared by several RAID devices.
Once the the data rebuilding finishes, the administrator can take out the faulty physical disk, insert a
new one and assign it to be a new hot spare.
For best practice we recommend using a drive of the same capacity as the faulty drive.
