Assigning a Dedicated Hotspare Drive
Dedicated hotspare drives provide protection to one or more specified redundant virtual drives on the controller. If
you select an Unconfigured Good drive, you have the option of assigning it as a dedicated spare drive. Perform these

Open the pop-up drive operations menu, highlight Assign Dedicated Spare Drive, and press Enter.
2.
Highlight Go, which appears beneath Operation, and press Enter.
The following dialog appears.
Figure 106 Associate Virtual Drives to the Dedicated Hotspare Drive
The preceding figure lists a single entry for each existing drive group. If you create a partial virtual drive on the
same drive group, you can view a single entry with the cumulative size.
3.
Select the drive groups to which this hotspare drive is dedicated, by highlighting each drive group and by
pressing the spacebar.
Alternatively, use the Check All or Uncheck All commands to select or deselect all of the drive groups.

When your selection is complete, highlight OK, and press Enter.
When you return to the previous dialog, the status of the selected drive changes to hotspare.
