Click Go Back To Previous Page to return to Create Virtual Disk Advanced
Wizard page, if you want to change your selections.
Click Exit Wizard to cancel the virtual disk creation.
The Create Virtual Disk Advanced Wizard (Step 3 of 3) - <Controller
Name> page 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.
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.
NOTE: If you are creating an encrypted virtual disk, then encrypted physical
disks are listed as candidates for hot spare.
Click Exit Wizard to cancel the virtual disk.
Span Edit
In the edit mode, you cannot alter the number of physical disks per span. If
there are enough available physical disks, you can reduce or increase the
number of spans. You can also alter the contents of a span by removing that
span and selecting a new physical disk to comprise that span.
To successfully create a virtual disk, a minimum of two spans must exist at all
times.
NOTE: If you click Span Edit, Intelligent Mirroring that is already been applied
becomes invalid.
Click Continue to return to Click Exit Wizard to cancel the virtual disk
creation..
