Additional Array Information
Hot Spare Drive for Mirrored Arrays
For automatic rebuilds of a Mirrored (RAID 1) array, attach a spare drive to the
FastTrak controller. If a disk drive is not assigned to an array and it is the same size
or larger than the drives in the array, FastTrak will use the unassigned drive as a hot
spare. The hot spare replaces a failed disk drive and the array is rebuilt to the hot
spare automatically. This action is performed in the background under all supported
operating systems, except DOS. At a later time, you can power down the system
and replace failed drive. The new drive then becomes the hot spare.
How FastTrak Orders Arrays
During startup, the disk arrays on the FastTrak 579 Serial ATA controller are
recognized in this order:
1. The array set to bootable in the FastBuild Setup.
2. The Array number (i.e. Array 0, Array 1…). This would be involved in determining
which drive letters will be assigned to each disk array.
