Chapter 2: RAID configuration
Managing hot spares
You may configure one disk as a global hot spare to protect critical data on the IM/IME
volume(s). You may create the hot spare disk at the same time you create the IM/IME
volume. Refer to this section when adding a hot spare disk on an existing volume.
If a disk on an IM/IME volume fails, the utility automatically rebuilds the failed
disk data on the hot spare. When the failed disk is replaced, the utility assigns
the replacement as the new hot spare.
To create a hot spare:
1. Follow steps 1–3 of the section
