Spare Management | ![]() |
For links and interfaces common to all Configuration Wizards links, please see Wizards Overview in ACU help. The following screens allow you to assign or remove spare(s) to or from array(s). Adding a Spare Removing a Spare Your first option will be to select the array you want to add or remove spare(s) from, selected from the available arrays listed. The next option will be to select the drive(s) you want to add or remove from the array from the available physical drives listed. Check the drive(s) you would like to add to an array or Uncheck the drive(s) to remove them from an array. Note: Only physical drives of the same size (within 10 percent) should be added to the same array because all the drives within an array are reduced to the size of the smallest physical drive. For example, an array with three 2.1-GB drives and a 4.3-GB drive would be viewed as being the same size as an array with four 2.1-GB drives since the 4.3-GB drive is seen as a 2.1-GB drive. Active Spare Note: A spare cannot be "selected" to become active. It becomes active automatically when it is being used. |
