Description
Spares are identified on the Storage > Disks page using the following
icons:
Each icon will be associated with a disk in the RAID, identifying that
disk as either a local spare or a global spare.
When a drive in a RAID fails, the system looks for a spare in the
following order:
1. If a local spare dedicated to the RAID exists, use the local spare.
2. If no local spare is available, and there is a single global spare of
sufficient capacity, use the global spare.
3. If no local spare is available, and two global spares of different
capacity are available, use the smaller global spare with sufficient
capacity.
