Size (MB)
Indicates the size of the device in megabytes (megabyte = 1024 x
1024 = 1,048,576). If the device is part of a two-disk array, this field
reflects the size of the array, not the size of the individual disk. If the
device is part of a three or more disk array, this field is the size that
the disk makes up within the array. When creating a striped array,
the usable size of the array is determined by the number of drives
times the size of the smallest drive in the array. In arrays consisting
of different sized drives, excess space on larger drives are unusable.

RAID Disk
Specifies the devices (disks) that make up an IM array. If RAID Disk
is
Yes
, the device is part of an IM array, if
No
, the device is not part
of an IM array. This field is grayed out under the following conditions:
•
The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in
an IM array.
•
The device is not large enough to mirror existing data on the
primary drive.
•
This disk has been selected as the hot spare for the IM array.
Hot Spr
Specifies whether a device is the hot spare for an IM array. If hot
spare is Yes, the device is used as a hot spare for the IM array, if No,
the device is not used as a hot spare for the IM array. Only one hot
spare per IM array is permitted. A hot spare is not required in an IM.
A hot spare can be specified at array creation, or any time after
creation, provided the array is made up of 5 disks or fewer. This field
is grayed out under the following conditions:
•
The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in
an IM array.
•
The array already has a hot spare.
•
The array is made up of the maximum number of devices (6).
•
The device isn't large enough to mirror existing data on the
primary. The hot spare drive must be greater than or equal to
the size of any drive in any IM volume.
