Configuring a Storage Solution
59
Note: There must be at least one drive online and available that meets the rules for spare drives
on page 57 to be assigned as a hot spare, and a configuration must exists (at least one array
defined).
2 From the Drive Information window, click the Make Spare button.
3 A pop-up window will appear, click the drop-down menu and select the array to which you wish to assign
the dedicated spare.
4 Click the CREATE button. A confirmation window will appear indicating success, click the CLOSE button.
5 Click the CLOSE button on the Drive Information window.
Note Only arrays that the spare drive is large enough to replace any member drive of that array or of the same
drive type will be displayed in the pull down menu. For example, if you have two arrays one created using
500 GB drives (array 0) and one using 750 GB disk drives (array 1). If you have a 500 GB spare drive
that you attempting to assign to an array, only Array 0 will be displayed because the drives in array 1 are
of equal or lesser capacity drives then the spare. However, if you have a 750 GB spare drive both Array
0 and Array 1 will be displayed since the 750 GB spare is equal to or greater than any drive in either array.
