so that a drive failure will trigger an automatic rebuild of the Vraid1 or Vraid5 data set into spare space.
The EVA sparing protection will utilize available disk space in the disk group and when that is exhausted,
the established virtual spare space. This methodology of using unused capacity can give customers the
ability to have many disk worth of spare space for maximum data availability protection and peace of
mind.
All EVAs have dual redundant power distribution. Two independent power cords distribute power through
two Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to each side of the EVA cabinets and to each power supply of the
controllers and to each power supply of the drive enclosures and to each of the FC loop switches. Each
cabinet power cord can be connected to independent power sources. For maximum availability, a
customer should provide redundant power from independent power circuit breakers, independent power
lines from the power company and even independent power companies.
