Swap drive
Selecting Swap Drive allows the user to replace a drive in an array with another drive. The
other drive needs to have a use of Candidate or Spare. This action can be used to replace a
drive that is expected to fail soon.
Figure 4-55 shows the dialog box that opens. Select the member drive to be replaced and the
replacement drive.

Set Spare Goal
This action is available only for traditional RAID arrays. Selecting Set Spare Goal allows you
to set the number of spare drives required to protect the array from drive failures. If the
number of spare drives available does not meet the configured goal an error is logged in the
event log. This error can be fixed by adding more drives of a compatible drive class as spares.
