The number of disks in an IM array plus the hot spare cannot exceed three. You can create only
one hot spare disk. Make sure the capacity of the hot spare disk is greater than or equal to the
capacity of the smallest disk in the logical drive. An easy way to verify this is to use the DISPLAY
command.
See“Rules for Creating IM Volumes and Hot Spare Disks (page 62).
Verify and Install the Latest Firmware
HP attempts to provide you with the most current version of firmware. However, there might be
instances when this is not the case.

the web and create a CD to install the firmware on the server. To install the firmware onto your
server blade, you must have an external USB DVD drive attached to the server blade. To install an
external DVD drive to your server blade, see“Operating System is Not Loaded onto the Server
Blade (page 49).
