reflects the size of the array, not the size of the individual disk. If the
device is part of a three or more disk array, this field is the size that
the disk makes up within the array. When creating a striped array,
the usable size of the array is determined by the number of drives times
the size of the smallest drive in the array. In arrays consisting of
different sized drives, excess space on larger drives are unusable.

RAID Disk
Specifies the devices (disks) that make up an IM array. If RAID Disk is

IM array.
•
The device is not large enough to mirror existing data on the
primary drive.
•
This disk has been selected as the hot spare for the IM array.
Hot Spr
Specifies whether a device is the hot spare for an IM array. If hot spare
is Yes, the device is used as a hot spare for the IM array, if No, the
device is not used as a hot spare for the IM array. Only one hot spare
per IM array is permitted. A hot spare is not required in an IM. A hot
spare can be specified at array creation, or any time after creation,
provided the array is made up of 5 disks or fewer. This field is grayed
out under the following conditions:
•
The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in an
IM array.
•
The array already has a hot spare.
•
The array is made up of the maximum number of devices (6).
•
The device isn't large enough to mirror existing data on the
primary. The hot spare drive must be greater than or equal to the
size of any drive in any IM volume.
