Any unused disk drive that is not part of a RAID set can be designated as a hot
spare. The “Quick Volume/Raid Setup” configuration will add the spare disk
drive and automatically display the appropriate RAID level from which the user
can select. For the “Raid Set Function” configuration option, the user can use
the “Create Hot Spare” option to define the hot spare disk drive.
When a hot spare disk drive is being created by using the “Create Hot Spare”
option (in the “Raid Set Function”), all unused physical devices connected to the
current controller will appear:
Choose the target disk by selecting the appropriate check box. Press Enter key
to select a disk drive, and press Yes in the “Create Hot Spare” to designate it as
a hot spare.

“Quick Volume / Raid Setup configuration” collects all available drives and
includes them in a RAID set. The RAID set you created is associated with
exactly one volume set. You will only be able to modify the default RAID level,
stripe size and capacity of the new volume set. Designating drives as hot spares
is also possible in the “Raid Level” selection option. The volume set default
settings will be:
Parameter Setting
Volume Name Volume Set # 00
SAS Port/LUN Base/LUN 0/0/0
Cache Mode Write Back
Tag Queuing Yes
The default setting values can be changed after configuration is complete.
Follow the steps below to create arrays using “Quick Volume / Raid Setup”
Configuration:
Choose “Quick Volume/Raid Setup”
from the main menu. The available RAID
levels and associated Hot Spare for the current volume set drive are displayed.
RAID Level
Try to use drives of the same capacity in a specific array. If you use
drives with different capacities in an array, all the drives in the a
rray is treated
as though they have the capacity of the smallest drive in the array.
The number of physical drives in a specific array determines
the RAID levels
that can be implemented with the array.
