Managing Spares

Chaparral RAID controllers automatically reconstruct redundant (fault-tolerant) arrays (RAID 3, RAID 4, RAID 5, RAID 50, and mirrored) if an array becomes critical and a properly sized spare drive is available. An array becomes critical when one or more member drives fails.

You can set up two types of spare drives:

✁Dedicated—available drive that is assigned to a specific array. See page 6-1.

✁Pool—available drive that is assigned to the pool, which can provide a spare for any failed drive in any redundant array. See page 6-5.

In addition, if you enable the Dynamic Spares option and a drive fails, you can replace the drive and the controller will rescan the bus, find the new disk drive, and automatically start reconstruction of the array. See page 6-3.

The controller looks for a dedicated spare first. If it does not find a properly sized dedicated spare, it looks for a pool spare.

If a reconstruct does not start automatically, it means that no valid spares are available. To start a reconstruct, you must:

1Replace the failed drive, if no other drive is available.

2Add the new drive or another available drive as a dedicated spare to the array or as a pool spare.

Remember that any pool spares added might be used by any critical array, not necessarily the array you want

Managing Dedicated Spares

Dedicated spares are unused disk drives that you assign as a spare to a specific array. The disk must be as large as the smallest member of the array. You cannot use a dedicated spare drive in an array or as a pool spare.
