Managing Hot Spares - Asus RS300-H8-PS12 User Manual

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.
To create a hot spare:
