Manual Transition

If you wanted to use the drive in slot 5 as a member of the disk array, rather than the drive in slot 3, you would

run the Transition function manually. See “Running a Transition on a Spare Drive” on page 217.

When the Manual Transition is finished, physical drives 1, 2, 4, and 5 belong to the disk array and physical drive

6 is a revertible spare drive.

At this point, you would replace the drive in slot 3. The new drive in slot 3 re-mains unconfigured until you

assign it to a disk array or as a spare.
