When creating your RAID you must consider which Sparing Strategy you want to implement.
There are 3 possible Sparing Strategies available in ProRAID Manager:
None
Local
Global
A
Local Spare Drive
is a spare disk that is only available to the RAID in which it was
created. If a disk fails in a RAID in the system, a Local Spare from another RAID cannot be
used to rebuild the degraded RAID.
A
Global Spare Drive
is a spare disk that is available to all RAIDs in the system. If a disk
fails in any RAID in the system, the Global Spare disk can be used to rebuild the degraded
RAID.
NOTE: A Spare Disk must have capacity equal to or greater than the
capacity of the disks in the RAID(s) to which it is assigned.
7.2 Array Status
The RAID Status screen displays a summary of all RAIDs currently created on the system.
This screen displays a summary of the RAID settings on the system, select ‘
Storage
Manager
’. This will display the information in table format. You can double-click on an entry
in the table to view more detailed information about the selected RAID. The tree view on the
left of the screen also lists the available RAIDs on the system.
