Hot Spares
Hot spares automatically replace failed drives in protected arrays
and are not accessible by the operating system for other use. Any
hard drive not assigned to an array or in use by the operating
system can be designated as a hot spare, as long as the spare drive is
at least as large as the other drives in the array.
To assign a drive as a hot spare, follow these steps:
1 Highlight the drive you want to use in the left pane.
2 Select Action > Make Hotspare.
The selected hot spare is reassigned as a normal hard drive
accessible by the operating system.
Refer to Assigning Hot Spares on page 3-47 for additional
information.
* Remember, RAID 0/5 is not available on the 2400A. If a 2400A has a RAID
0/1, no hot spare is available.
