Chapter 6: Advanced Configuration and Management
Configuring hot spares
The process of configuring fault tolerant arrays includes assigning drives as global or dedicated hot spares. In the event of a drive failure that is a member of a fault tolerant array, the controller will use an assigned global hot spare to replace the failed drive in any array. If a dedicated spare is assigned to the specific array, that array will use its dedicated hot spare to replace the failed drive member.
