Managing hot spares
You may configure one disk as a global hot spare to protect critical data on the
RAID 1/1E/10 volume(s). You may create the hot spare disk at the same time you
create the RAID 1/1E/10 volume. Refer to this section when adding a hot spare
disk on an existing volume.
If a disk on an RAID 1/1E/10 volume fails, the utility automatically rebuilds the
failed disk data on the hot spare. When the failed disk is replaced, the utility
assigns the replacement as the new hot spare.
