Spare Pool Management
The purpose of a spare pool is to have drives in reserve to instantly take the place of any failed drives in
a redundant RAID array such as a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, or RAID 50 array. This allows rebuilds to start
instantly in order to minimize the risk of data loss.
To access the Spare Pool Management screen, click on
the "Manage" menu item and select "Spare Pool".
To add a drive to the Spare Pool, select an available
drive from the "Available Disks" section and click on the
"Add Spare" button.
Events
The NewerTech Web Manager software will automatically log all events that occur on the MAXPower®
controller card.

Warning of minor occurrences and issues. These include
plugging of devices into the card and minor issues such
as inconsistent data that can be easily fixed by a verify or
rebuild.
Warns of major occurrences and problems such as failed
drives and improper disconnections of drives and arrays.
Tasks
The NewerTech Web Manager has a built-in scheduling system to run background rebuilds, verifications,
integrity, and health checks to the attached arrays and drives. To enter the task scheduling systems, click on
"Task" menu item.
Health Inspector Scheduler
The Health Inspector Scheduler is always visible in the Task
screen of the Web Manager to check drive temperatures, bad
sector counts, and any other errors that may be reaching
critical levels. If any problems are found, a warning event will
be created and logged. If you have set SMTP settings for email
notification of warnings in the "Settings" section of the Web
Manager, you will receive an email notification.
New Verify Task Scheduler
The New Task Scheduler is only visible when redundant
RAID arrays are present and is used to schedule times to run
background verifications and rebuilds of arrays.
Tasks List
Once a Verify or Health Inspector task is created, it will appear
in the "Tasks List" section. To delete a scheduled task, select
the checkbox next to the task and click on the "Delete" button.
