Global Hot Spare
Up to 5 RAID volumes can be created per system. The global hot spare support can
eliminate the redundant disk usage in each RAID volume. Simply select an unused
disk from the global hot spare disk list then apply to activate.
Expanding a RAID
To expand a RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 volume, follow the steps below:
1. Replace one of the hard drives in the RAID volume and allow it to
automatically rebuild.
2. Once rebuilt, you can continue to replace any remaining disks in the RAID
array.
3. When you are done replacing hard drives, log on to Web Management.
Navigate to Storage> RAID to open the RAID Configuration screen.
4. On the RAID Information screen, click Edit to open the RAID
Configuration screen.
5. On the RAID Configuration screen, click Expand.
