HP 8 Internal Port SAS Controller and HP Multi-Port Internal SAS Controller Support Guide, September 2009

Bay Displays the bay in which devices are located.
Device Identifier Displays the device identifier.
RAID Disk Specifies the devices (disks) that make up an IM array. If RAID Disk
is “Yes,” the device is part of an IM array; if “No,” the device is not
part of an IM array. If this field is grayed out, one or more of the
following conditions applies:
• The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in
an IM array.
• The device is not large enough to mirror existing data on the
primary drive.
• This disk has been selected as the Hot Spare for the IM array.
Hot Spr Specifies whether a device is the Hot Spare for an IM array. If Hot
Spr is “Yes,” the device will be used as a Hot Spare for the IM array,
if “No,” the device will not be used as a Hot Spare for the IM array.
Only one Hot Spare per IM array is permitted. A Hot Spare is not
required in an IM. A Hot Spare can be specified at array creation, or
any time after creation, provided the array is made up of 5 disks or
fewer. This field is grayed out under the following conditions:
• The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in
an IM array.
• The array already has a Hot Spare.
• The array is made up of the maximum number of devices (6).
• The device isn’t large enough to mirror existing data on the
primary. The Hot Spare drive must be greater than or equal to
the size of any drive in any IM volume.
