Manage your RAID array

The following features allow you to monitor and maintain your arrays to prevent any
critical failures from occurring:



Spare Pool (pg. 28)



Email Notifications (pg. 29)



WebGUI Remote Login (pg. 30)



Storage Health Inspector (pg. 33)



Health Inspector Scheduling (pg. 33)

RAID Spare Pool

Physical drives marked as a spare will automatically be added to a redundant RAID
array (RAID levels 1, 10, 5, and 6) whenever there is a disk failure. Enabling this feature
minimizes the chances of data loss since it reduces the time an array is in critical
status.
