Hot-spare and standby
hot-spare drives supply additional protection to a RAID configuration. If a
physical drive failed in configurations other than RAID level-0 and -00, the
hot-spare drive can automatically replace the failed physical drive. Subsequently,
the logical drive can be rebuilt automatically.
Note: You cannot use
hot-spare drives with RAID level-0 or -00.
You can create a hot-spare drive in the Configuration wizard when you first
configure the ServeRAID controller. However, if you did not choose to create
a hot-spare drive at that time, you can do so later.
