Creating a hot-spare drive
Note: This action is supported on the integrated RAID controller
in bootable-CD mode only.
Use this action to create a hot-spare drive.
- In the Physical devices view, click
(ready physical drive) or
(standby hot-spare drive).
- Click
in the Logical devices view. The ServeRAID Manager creates the hot-spare drive.
Note:
A hot-spare drive with a blue plus sign next to it indicates that the logical devices are protected by the hot spare.
A hot-spare drive with a yellow plus sign next to it indicates that:
- The drive is too small to protect any drives in the logical devices
- None of the logical devices support hot spares (for example, a RAID Level-0 array)
- No logical devices are defined
