Assigning And Unassigning Dedicated Hot Spare
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.
Assigning 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.
