Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
A dedicated hot spare is an unused backup disk that is assigned to a single virtual disk. When a physical disk in the virtual disk fails, the hot spare is activated
to replace the failed physical disk without interrupting the system or requiring your intervention.
For more information on hot spares including size requirements, see Protecting Your Virtual Disk with a Hot Spare. For considerations regarding RAID 10 and
RAID 50 virtual disks created using the controller BIOS, see Dedicated Hot Spare Considerations.

To assign a dedicated hot spare:

1. Select the disk in the Connector (channel or port) table that you want to use as the dedicated hot spare. On some controllers, more than one disk can
be selected. The disks you have selected as dedicated hot spares are displayed in the Disks currently configured as dedicated hot spare table.

2. Click Apply Changes when ready.

To unassign a dedicated hot spare:

Clicking the disk removes the disk from the Disks currently configured as dedicated hot spare table and returns it to the Connector (channel or port)
table.
