Disks (array disks)
Disks can be part of arrays (or the non-RAID disks node) and are of the following types:
• Standard disks — These are the basic, non-defined disk type that make up the storage on arrays.
• Hot Spares — These disks provide online redundancy if a RAID disk fails while assigned to a specific
array.
• All Remaining Disks — These disks provide an option to define an array without specifying the exact
number of disks.
If the controller configuration specifies the number of disks required, an equivalent number of disks are
added to the non-RAID group. If the controller specifies the exact quantity, disks cannot be added or
removed from the controller – they can only be moved from array to array (or the non-RAID group). If
the controller specifies a minimum number of disks, you can add or remove disks, but you cannot
remove disks below the lower limit of the controller configuration.
Adding a new disk
To add a new disk to an array, select the array and click Disks → New Disk.
