Managing Global Hot Spares
This option enables you to create a global hot spare from a selected physical
disk, or to delete a global hot spare.
NOTE:
A global hot spare can be created only if a physical disk is in Ready or
Normal status at the Physical Disks field. If the physical disk is in Online status, it is
being used by a virtual disk and cannot be selected as a hot spare.
