Figure 9-14 Hardware Components - Hotspare overview
Hot spare disk drives provide additional protection to be used in the event of a disk drive fault
in a RAID array (RAID 1,3 or 5). A hot spare drive is like having a replacement drive in
advance. This windows displays only overview of how many hot spare drives are assigned,
and how many of them are in use. To get a more detailed view click the Hot Spare Drive link
to open the Locate Drives window, (Figure 9-15 on page 207). This window covers the same
view and functions as the previous Locate Drives window (9.2.2, “Drives” on page 204) for
hot spare drives. More information about assigning hot spare drives is in 8.3.2, “Configure Hot
Spares” on page 156.
