4. Review the summary of protected logical drives, then click Finish.
Any other logical drives created on the controller will automatically be protected by that global hot
spare.
Assigning a Dedicated Hot Spare or Pool Hot Spare
A dedicated hot spare is assigned to one or more specific logical drives. A dedicated hot spare assigned
to protect more than one logical drive is called a pool hot spare.
Note: You must create the logical drive before you can assign a dedicated hot spare
to protect it.
To assign a dedicated spare or pool hot spare:
1. In the Enterprise View, select a controller then, in the Physical Devices tree, select the disk drive or
SSD you want to designate as a hot spare. (See
Hot Spare Limitations
on page 44 for help selecting
a disk drive.)
2. On the ribbon, in the Physical Disk group, click Assign Spare.
The Assign Spare wizard opens.
3. Select Assign as a Dedicated Spare, then click Next.
