Managing Spares

Deleting a Dedicated Spare

You can delete a dedicated spare drive from an array at any time.

To delete a dedicated spare drive:

1From the System Menu, select Array Menu and press Enter. The Select Array screen displays with a list of existing arrays.

2Select the array you want and press Enter. The Array Menu screen displays.

3Select Delete Spare and press Enter.

4Select the spare drive you want to delete and press Enter. The system confirms the deletion.

5Select Yes and press Enter to delete the spare.

The drive is now available for use in an array or as a spare.

Enabling Dynamic Spares

The Dynamic Spares option lets you use all of your disk drives in redundant arrays, without assigning one as a spare. For example, if you enable Dynamic Spares 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. The controller automatically finds the new drive and reconstructs the array.

With Dynamic Spares enabled, if you have spares or available drives, the controller first looks for a dedicated or spare pool drive for the reconstruction. If none is found, it uses an available drive, which the controller automatically assigns as a spare and starts reconstruction.

You must make sure that the new or available drive has enough capacity to replace the smallest member in the array and does not contain metadata (see Clearing Metadata from a Drive on page 8-4).

Note: Performance in systems without a SAF-TE Enclosure Processor (SEP) will decrease if an array becomes critical with this option enabled and there are no available drives to start a reconstruct. To minimize the performance impact, increase the rescan rate as described in the steps below.
