4.4.3 Using Dedicated Sparing

A dedicated spare is a disk that you assign as an alternate disk for a spe- cific array. Should a disk fail in that array, the alternate disk is used to replace the failed disk and the array is rebuilt. A dedicated spare can be assigned to any redundant array type, and up to four spares can be assigned to an array.
