If you want to dedicate the spare to a specific array, select
Dedicated in the Spare type field and click the name of the
array you wish to dedicate it to in the scrollable array list. If
you want to add the spare to the pool of spares available to all
arrays on the controller, click Pool in the Spare type field.
Note:
You can add a disk of any size to the spare pool,
even if the disk is too small to protect the existing
arrays. For example, if you have created two arrays
with 1 GByte disks, you can add a 500-MByte disk to
the spare pool, even though this disk is too small to
replace any failed array member. This allows you to
create a third array later with 500-MByte disks, for
example.
