Creating Global Hot Spares
You can use a global hot spare to replace a failed physical disk in any
redundant array as long as the capacity of the global hot spare is equal to or
larger than the coerced capacity of the failed physical disk.
You can designate the hot spare to have enclosure affinity. This means that if
there are drive failures present on a split backplane configuration, then the
hot spare is first used on the backplane that it resides in.
