Figure 33. RAID Configuration Program - Create/Delete Array Menu
1. Select Define hot-spare drive. The cursor becomes active in the Bay/Array
selection list.
2. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the RDY (ready) drive to be used
as a hot-spare and press Enter. The RDY status changes to HSP (hot-spare).
Figure 34 on page 43 shows an example where a hot-spare disk has been
defined.
3. Press Esc to validate.
Notes:
1. The hot-spare drive is not associated with any array. If more than one array
is defined, you need only one hot-spare drive for all the arrays.
2. If the disks have different sizes, the hot-spare drive must be the largest.
