Assigning hot spare drives

The process of configuring fault tolerant arrays includes assigning drives for global or dedicated hot spares. In the event of a drive failure, the controller will use a 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.

This step is accomplished through the Hot Spare Configuration menu.

To configure hot spare drives:

1 From the Main Menu, select Configuration Menu, then press ENTER. The Configuration Menu opens.
