Transitioning a Disk Array
Transition is the process of replacing a revertible spare drive that is currently part
of a disk array with an unconfigured physical drive or a non-revertible spare. The
revertible spare drive returns to its original status. For more information, see
“Transition” on page 256.
In order to run the Transition function:
• The spare drive must be Revertible.
• You must specify an unconfigured physical drive of the same or larger
capacity to replace the revertible spare drive.
• The unconfigured physical drive must be the same media type, HDD or
SDD, as the other physical drives in the disk array.
To run a Transition:
1. Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.
2. From the dropdown menu on the Background Activities tab, choose Start
Transition.
3. Choose an unconfigured physical drive from the list of available drives.
After Transition is completed, refresh the screen. The revertible spare drive will
be listed under the Spare Drives icon and the disk array’s operational status
will show OK.
To set Transition priority, see “Making Background Activity Settings” on page 137.
