The system will confirm the rescan rate.

Managing the Spare Pool

The spare pool allows the user to have one or more disk drives available for the reconstruction

of redundant arrays (Mirrored and Parity). Once a drive is assigned to the spare pool, it is no

longer available for use as an array member or as a dedicated spare. If a pool spare is too

small (not enough capacity to replace the smallest member in the array), the controller cannot

use it.
