Managing Hot Spares - Asus KFN4-D16 1U User Manual

Managing hot spares

�ou may configure one disk as a global hot spare to protect critical data
on the IM/IME volume(s). You may create the hot spare disk at the same
time you create the IM/IME volume. Refer to this section when adding a hot
spare on an existing volume.
If a disk on IM/IME 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.
