Assigning and Unassigning Dedicated Hot Spare

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported features.

A dedicated hot spare is an unused backup disk that is assigned to a single virtual disk. When a physical disk in the virtual disk is unsuccessful, the hot spare is activated to replace the failed physical disk without interrupting the system or requiring your intervention.

NOTE: For dedicated hot spare or global hot spare, Available RAID Disk Space is 0.00 GB and Used RAID Disk Space is equal to physical disk space size. Because the hot spare cannot be used for virtual disk creation.

For more information about hot spares including size requirements, see Protecting your Virtual Disk with a Hot Spare. For considerations regarding RAID 10 and RAID 50 virtual disks, created using the controller BIOS.
