pdM
Predictive Data Migration (PDM) is the migration of data from the suspect physical drive to a spare drive,
similar to rebuilding a logical drive. But unlike Rebuilding, PDM constantly monitors your physical drives and
automatically copies your data to a spare drive before the physical drive fails and your logical drive goes Critical.
See “Running PDM on a Disk Array” on page 194 and “PDM” on page 550.
