Table 4-2. Change Status Advanced Option
☞ If you selected an Unconfigured drive, use the arrow key to
select Make Drive Spare, then press Enter,
OR
☞ If you selected a Spare drive, use the arrow key to select
Make Drive Unused, then press Enter,
OR
☞ If you selected an Online drive, use the arrow key to select
Make Drive Offline, then press Enter,
OR
☞ If you selected an Offline drive, use the arrow key to select
Make Drive Online, then press Enter.
Depending on what you’re changing, you’ll either see a Warning (when
changing online to offline or offline to online), or a Notice (when changing
unconfigured to spare or spare to unconfigured). An example is shown in
