Figure 30. Monitoring the Initialization Progress
Placing the mouse pointer over the progress bar will display the percent complete for the initialization
progress in a pop-up window. The drive member icons of this array will change to an animated icon
indicating the array is initializing.
You can stop the initialization process, if you wish, by clicking the Stop link located to the right of
the progress bar.
Pause/Resume the Initialization
You can temporarily pause the initialization process, and resume the process at a later time.
Pause Initialization
1. Click the PAUSE link located just to the right and below the progress bar.
The “Pause” link will change to “Resume” and the progress bar will stop at its last position.
Resume Initialization
1. Click the RESUME link located just to the right and below the progress bar.
The initialization will continue from the point where it was paused.
Adding Hot Spare Drives
The SR1202 RAID Controller supports hot spare drives. In the event of a drive failure, the controller
will use either a global spare or a dedicated spare to replace a failed drive that is a member of a fault
tolerant array.
Global spares are not assigned to a specific array and when created can be used by any array as the
replacement drive. A dedicated spare is assigned to a specific array and can only be used by that
array.
The process of configuring redundant arrays includes assigning drives as global spares and/or as
dedicated spares.
