Creating Spare Disk

Up to two spare disks can be assigned for one channel.

Spare disk is available for RAID1 and RAID10 (spanning of RAID1) only.

NOTE: Spare disk must have larger capacity than the hard disk drives configuring the array.

If the hard disk drives in the array have 73GB or larger and the spare disk is 36GB, a 36-GB disk cannot be used as a spare disk.

To assign a spare disk:

1.Press S on Main Menu.

Some characters may not be displayed correctly when console redirection is used. It is no problem on operation. Ignore it and press S.

2.Select [Add Spare] on the Option window as shown below.

3.Select a hard disk drive for spare disk from the list of available disks, and press Enter.

4.Select [Yes] for the message [Are you sure?] and press Enter.

Selecting [No] returns to the main menu without assigning any spare disk.
