Managing hot spares

You may configure one disk as a global hot spare to protect critical data on

the IM/IME volume(s). You may create the hot spare disk at the same time

you create the IM/IME volume. Refer to this section when adding a hot

spare disk on an existing volume.

If a disk on an IM/IME volume fails, the utility automatically rebuilds the

failed disk data on the hot spare. When the failed disk is replaced, the

utility assigns the replacement as the new hot spare.

To create a hot spare:

1. Follow steps 1 ~ 3 of the section “Viewing volume properties.”

2. From the View Array screen, select

Manage Array, then press

<Enter>.

3. From the Manage Array screen select
