Making hot spares
This section describes a procedure of making a hot spare (reserve drive).
Two types of hot spare are available: "global hot spares" can be used for all
virtual drives and "dedicated hot spares (local spares)" are dedicated to the
specific virtual drive.
Choose the type as required.
Before you make a hot spares, you need to build a virtual drive with
redundancy (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10).
For the disk array configured with HDDs, install HDD as reserve
drive; for the disk array configured with SSDs, install SSD as
reserve drive. Other type of disk array cannot be configured as
reserve drive.
