Automatic Transition
At this juncture, you would replace the failed drive in slot 3 with a new one of the same or greater capacity.
When the Vess controller detects the new drive in slot 3, the controller:
• Automatically transitions the data on drive 6 to drive 3
• Returns drive 6 to spare status
When the Automatic Transition is finished, physical drives 1, 2, 3, and 4 belong to the disk array and physical
drive 6 is a revertible spare drive. The original configuration is restored.
