Enable Global Hot Spare Enables the Global Hot Spare Protection Policy.
Minimum Number of Disks Displays the minimum number of physical disks to be assigned
as global hot spares for the controller.
Severity Level Displays the severity level that you must assign to the generated
alert, if the Global Hot Spare policy is violated.
Consider Global Hot Spare Policy when determining Virtual
Disk status
Storage Management considers the Global Hot Spare policy to
determine the status of the virtual disk. The status of the virtual
disk is determined by the severity level you specify for this
policy.
NOTE: When assigning a global hot spare, consider a physical disk that has higher capacity, which can replace a disk
when a disk fails in the controller.
Considerations For Hot Spare Protection Policy
• RAID 0 does not support hot spares or protection policy.
• If the status of the virtual disk is displayed as Degraded or Failed because of the hot spare protection policy violation, then
assign the required number of hot spares (as dened in the protection policies) for the status to be displayed as normal.
Considerations For Enclosure Anity
• Enclosure anity settings for dedicated hot spare are applicable only on PERC 6 family of controllers.
• Enclosure anity settings for a global/dedicated hot spare are not automatically set when you upgrade to version 6.1.
Enclosure anity settings for a global/dedicated hot spare are not automatically set when you import a foreign virtual disk.
