Integrating a new drive into the onboard RAID system
The RAID system is configured in the delivery state so that a new drive must be integrated
manually when a defective drive was replaced.
You can also configure the RAID system in such a way that the new drive is automatically
mounted when the defective drive is replaced.
RAID systems with a hot-spare drive are configured so that the hot-spare drive is
automatically integrated in the event of an error.
Configure "Automatic integration of a new drive" (before replacing a defective drive)
NOTICE

If a new drive is automatically integrated, the new drive is not checked for partition
information or existing data.
All partitions and data of the new drive are deleted without warning.
