To designate drives as hot spares, press ENT to enter the Main menu. Press
UP/DOWN to select the Raid Set Functions option and then press ENT. All
RAID set functions will be displayed. Press UP/DOWN to select the Create Hot
Spare Disk option and then press ENT. The first unused physical device
connected to the current controller appears: Press UP/DOWN to scroll the
unused physical devices and select the target disk to assign as a Hot Spare and
press ENT to designate it as a hot spare.
The “Create Hot Spare” gives you the ability to define a global or dedicated hot
spare. Unlike “Global Hot Spare” which can be used with any RAID sets,
“Dedicated Hot Spare” can only be used with a specific RAID set or Enclosure.
When a disk drive fails in the RAID set or enclosure with a dedicated Hot Spare
is pre-set, data on the disk drive is rebuild automatically on the dedicated hot
spare disk.
