Considerations for Hot Spare Protection Policy

  • RAID 0 does not support hot spares or protection policy.
  • If the status of the virtual disk is displayed as Degraded or Failed because of the hot spare protection policy violation, then assign the required number of hot spares (as defined in the protection policies) for the status to be displayed as normal.
  • The Hot-Spare Protection Policy is not applicable for all software RAID controllers.
