Physical Drives

Spare Drives

Spare Drive List (page 128)

Delete a Spare Drive (page 129)

Create a Spare Drive (page 128)

In WebPAM PRO, there are two types of hot spare drives:

Global – Any unassigned physical drive of adequate size can be used as a hot spare drive for any disk array

Dedicated – A specific unassigned physical drive of adequate size can only be used as the hot spare drive for a specific disk array

The Global hot spare drive option becomes active when you enable Auto Rebuild. See Disk Array Settings (page 119) for this setting. There must also be an unassigned disk drive of adequate capacity to replace the failed drive in the disk array. This means that the hot spare drive must be equal to or larger than the failed drive it replaces.
