Creating an assigned hot-spare drive

Use this action to assign one or more hot-spare drives to a logical device. An assigned hot-spare drive is a dedicated spare: it used only to rebuild the logical device to which it is assigned. An unassigned hot-spare drive is "global": it can be used to rebuild any logical device on the controller.

Note: You cannot assign a hot-spare drive while a logical device is being built or modified (such as a logical device migration).

  1. In the Physical devices view, click (ready physical drive).

  2. Right-click Create assigned hot-spare drive for the logical device name. The Adaptec Storage Manager creates a dedicated hot-spare drive for the logical device.
