Adding Hot Spare Drives

Hot spares are drives that are available to automatically replace failed drives in a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10,
RAID 50, or RAID 60 virtual drive. Dedicated hot spares can be used to replace failed drives in a selected drive group
only. Global hot spares are available to any virtual drive on a specific controller.
To add a dedicated or global hot spare drive, follow these steps:
1. Select the Physical tab in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager main menu, and click the icon of an
unused drive.
For each drive, the window displays the port number, enclosure number, slot number, drive state, drive capacity,
and drive manufacturer.
2. Either select Go To > Physical Drive > Assign Global Hot Spare, or select Go To > Physical Drive > Assign
Dedicated Hot Spare.
