2.4.3 Configure HotSpare
There are two kinds of Hot Spare Management Modes as the followings.
•
Dedicated Spare
Once a failed drive is replaced, copyback will be executed. Therefore, the slot of the spare drive is no change.
•
Auto Replace Spare
An autoreplace spare replaces a failed drive to be incorporated into the target array instead. Once a failed
drive is replaced, it automatically becomes a hot spare, copyback will not be executed. Therefore, the slot of
the replaced physical device becomes the slot of the spare drive.
