1.Select Define hot-spare drive. The cursor becomes active in the Bay/Array selection list.

2.Use the up and down arrow keys to select the RDY (ready) drive to be used as a hot-spare and press Enter. The RDY status changes to HSP (hot-spare). Figure 34 on page 43 shows an example where a hot-spare disk has been defined.

3.Press Esc to validate.

Notes:

1.The hot-spare drive is not associated with any array. If more than one array is defined, you need only one hot-spare drive for all the arrays.

2.If the disks have different sizes, the hot-spare drive must be the largest.
