data availability. Of course a hot fix drive is not mandatory. If you control the array drive
at regular intervals and immediately replace a defective hard disk (by shutting down the
system or using a hot fix), you can minimize the risk of data loss.

Remove Hot Fix

Click the right mouse button on the array drive icon.
This option opens a box showing available hot fix drives. Select the hot fix drive you want
to remove from the array drive and then confirm your selection. You can remove any pool
hot fix drives or a private hot fix drive from the selected array drive.

Hot Fix Pool Access

Click the right mouse button on the array drive icon.
Enable or disable the access of an array drive to the pool hot fix of hot fix drives. If the
access is enabled this means that if a member of an array drive fails, a drive can be taken
from the hot fix pool and built automatically into the array drive. To be able to activate
this feature, there must be suitable logical drives in the hot fix pool. You can add drives to
the hot fix pool using the function Add Hot Fix Drive. By doing so, the hot fix pool access
for this specific array drive is activated automatically. For all other arrays drive you must
activate the access manually.

Add RAID 1 Component (Mirror a Drive)

Click the right mouse button on the logical drive icon.
This function allows you to add to a logical drive which is a member of an array drive,
another logical drive as a mirror drive (RAID 1).
Example: You have configured an array drive with 4 logical drives. One logical drive has
failed and the array drive went into the fail state. Another failure would cause data loss.
Unfortunately, you find another logical drive that is likely to fail (for example, you hear a
strange noise from it, or it's grown defect counter explodes). If you initiate a hot plug it is
likely that the critical logical drive will also fail. To avoid that problem, mirror a new good
logical drive to the critical one. When the copying is finished, remove the critical logical
drive and carry out a hot plug procedure.
