SuperTrak EX Series User Manual

Transition is an operation to replace a revertible spare drive currently used in a disk array with an new physical drive, so the reveritible spare can be restored to spare drive status. The destination drive can be an unconfigured drive, a non- revertible global spare, or a non-revertible spare dedicated to the array.

During transition, the data on the revertible spare is transferred to the destination drive while the disk array remains online. After transition, the destination drive becomes the part of the array and the revertible spare is a spared drive once again.
