Hot Spare Drives
Any extra drive that is not assigned to an array will be recognized as a Spare
Drive. Such drives are designated
Free
in the View Drive Assignments screen
(see below).
Spare Drives are automatically added to an array once a disk member of the
array has been detected as
failed
. To restore fault tolerance as quickly as
possible, the FastTrak Controller performs an automatic data rebuild on the
spare
drive in the background without the need to restart the system. At a later time, the
failed drive can be physically removed and an extra drive added in its place to
function as the spare drive.
Partition and Format Array
Your new RAID array must be partitioned and formatted before use. Use the
same method of partitioning and formatting on an array as you would any other
fixed disk added to your computer system.
