Disks (also known as Array Disks)
Disks can be part of arrays (or the non-RAID disks node) and are of the
following types:
• Standard disks - these are the basic, non-defined disk type that make up
the storage on arrays
•
Hot Spares - these disks provide online redundancy if a RAID disk fails,
and are assigned to a specific array.
•
All Remaining Disks - these disks provide an option to define an array
without specifying the exact number of disks in it.
If the controller configuration specifies a number of disks required, an
equivalent number of disks will be added to the non-RAID group. If the
controller specifies an exact quantity, disks cannot be added or removed from
the controller – they can only be moved from array to array (or the non-RAID
group). If the controller specifies a minimum number of disks, you can add or
remove disks, but you cannot remove disks below the lower limit of the
controller configuration.
Adding a New Disk
To add a new disk to an array, select the array and click Disks → New Disk.
You can choose from the following:
• Single disk
• Multiple disks
• Hot spare (only for the current array)
• Global hot spare (all arrays)
