The SCSI ID is not displayed on the PERC 4/IM controllers.
Use the BIOS on these controllers to identify the SCSI ID.
Persistent Hot Spare The possible values are:
Enabled: The slot corresponding to the hot spare drive is
persistent. Any drive in the slot functions as a hot spare if the
drive is qualified to be a hot spare.
NOTE: Any drive in the slot functions as a hot spare. If the drive
contains foreign data, it is overwritten.
Disabled: The slot corresponding to the hot spare drive is not
persistent. If the drive is removed from the slot and any drive
