Assigning hot spare with OMSA
Assigning And Unassigning Global Hot Spare
NOTE:
To assign global hot-spare drives, ensure that you have installed the latest version of Server Administrator. For
more information, see the Dell EMC OpenManage Software Support Matrix available on the support site.
A global hot spare is an unused backup disk that is part of the disk group. Hot spares remain in standby mode. When a physical
disk that is used in a virtual disk fails, the assigned hot spare is activated to replace the failed physical disk without interrupting
the system or requiring your intervention. When a hot spare is activated, it rebuilds the data for all redundant virtual disks that
were using the failed physical disk.
You can change the hot spare assignment by unassigning a disk and choosing another disk as needed. You can also assign more
than one physical disk as a global hot spare.
NOTE:
On PERC S100 and S300 controllers, if there is free space available on the global hot spare, it continues to function
as a spare even after replacing a failed physical disk.
Global hot spares must be assigned and unassigned manually. They are not assigned to specific virtual disks. If you want to
assign a hot spare to a virtual disk (it replaces any physical disk that fails in the virtual disk), then use the Assign and Unassign
Dedicated Hot Spare.
