NOTE: If you have selected the Create Encrypted Virtual Disk check box in
Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard (Step 1 of 4), then in the Summary of Virtual
Disk Attributes, an Encrypted Virtual Disk attribute is displayed with a value Yes.
2 Review the Assign Dedicated Hot Spare section. A hot spare is an
unused backup physical disk that can be used to rebuild data from a
redundant virtual disk.
For more information , see Protecting Your Virtual
Disk with a Hot Spare.
The Create Virtual Disk Advanced wizard displays a check box next to
each physical disk that is suitable as a dedicated hot spare. Select a
Physical Disk check box if you want to assign a dedicated hot spare.
NOTE: If you have selected the Create Encrypted Virtual Disk check box in
Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard (Step 1 of 4), then only encrypted physical
disks are listed as candidates for hot spare.
The Physical Disk check box is not available if the controller does not
have a physical disk that is a suitable hot spare for the virtual disk you are
creating. For example, the available physical disks may be too small to
protect the virtual disk. If the
Physical Disk check box is not available,
you may need to specify a smaller virtual disk, use a different RAID level,
or change the disk selection.
