Choosing to create a hot-spare drive

Hot-spare drives supply additional protection to a RAID configuration. If a physical drive fails in configurations other than RAID level-0, the hot-spare drive automatically replaces the failed physical drive. Subsequently, the logical device can be rebuilt using the hot spare.

Note: You cannot use hot-spare drives with RAID level-0.

You can create a hot-spare drive in the Configuration wizard when you first configure the controller. If you choose not to create a hot-spare drive at that time, you can create the hot-spare at another time.
