Assigning hot spare drives
The process of configuring fault tolerant arrays includes assigning drives for
global or dedicated hot spares. In the event of a drive failure, the controller
will use a global hot spare to replace the failed drive in any array. If a dedicated
spare is assigned to the specific array, that array will use its dedicated hot spare.
This step is accomplished through the Hot Spare Configuration menu.
To configure hot spare drives:
1
From the Main Menu, select Configuration Menu , then press ENTER . The
Configuration Menu opens.
