You normally create a dedicated hot spare when you create a new configuration with the
Manual Configuration option. To add a dedicated hot spare to an existing array or disk
group, follow these steps:
1. In the left panel of the Intel

drive that is not assigned to a storage configuration. If it is assigned to a storage
configuration, a check mark is displayed on the disk drive icon.
2. In the Menu, click the Go
To -> Physical Drive tab and select Assign Dedicated
Hotspare, as shown in Figure 111.
