Description StorCon or guides
the user to the point where a
new hard disk drive can be
built into the array drive. The subsystem must be
configured with StorCon or
StorCon Plus, before the
auto hot plug can work.
Thereafter a hard disk drive
can just be pulled out and
plugged in, and the Intel
RAID Controller SRCU31
“knows” what to do. In
addition, SAF-TE and SES
report the enclosure status
(power supplies, fans,
temperature etc.) to the Intel
RAID Controller SRCU31
and the Intel RAID Controller
SRCU31 driver. The hot fix drive is assigned
to an array drive. There are
two types of hot fix drives:
Private hot fix drive
(Available for one array drive
only.)
Pool hot fix drive
(Several array drives share
this hot fix drive.)
