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.
