Enabling Copyback

Note:

Copyback is an upgrade feature; if the Copyback feature is

locked, see

Adding Enhanced Features on page 21

for information on

purchasing a feature key.

When a logical drive is rebuilt using a hot spare (see

page 148

), data

from the failed drive is transferred to the hot spare. When copyback is
enabled, data is moved back to its original location once the controller
detects that the failed drive has been replaced. Once the data is copied
back, the hot spare becomes available again.

Copyback is disabled by default.

To enable copyback, right-click the controller, then click Enable or
Disable copy back mode
. (The copyback setting is a toggle switch.)
