Scenario 3 – “I want to protect against a failed drive”
Automatic Hot Spare Drive Configuration
A Hot Spare Drive is an unassigned drive which automatically replaces a member of an array if a drive fails. The Hot Spare Drive adds another level of data protection by acting as a “reserve” drive in the instance of a drive failure.
From the Configure tab, select Configure Hot Spares.
As it is important to emphasize the ease of use of the DS3000 Storage Manager, we will demonstrate the Automatic option. Therefore, at the next window, Configure Hot Spares, we will select Configure Hot Spares (Automatic).
