Assign to the spare poolChoose the Assign to spare pool option, the Available Disks list box will display all single disks in the system and the Spare Pool list box will display all the added spare disks. When the array is critical, the system will auto-select a spare disk to take over the fault disk and then rebuild the array to the original status. To add a spare disk, double-click a physical disk or choose one from the Available Disk list box and click the right arrow button to add the disk to the Spare Pool list box. To remove a spare disk, double-click a spare disk or choose one from the Spare Pool list box and click the left arrow button to remove the disk from the Spare Pool list box. If you need to assign a spare disk to some important array, you will choose the Assign to dedicated array option. Then those arrays to which all dedicated spare disks in the system can be added will appear in the right drop-down array list. When an array is selected, the Available Disks list box will display all single disks in the system and the Array Spares list box will display all added dedicated spare disks. To add/remove a dedicated spare disk, you can perform the same operations as adding/removing a spare disk (see above). |
