System Setup 2. Double-click the ACU icon on the desktop. 3. Select the controller from the drop-down list on the main ACU screen. 4. Select the array. 5. Click Modify in the Array box. 6. Select the drives that are to be used as online spares. IMPORTANT: The capacity of an online spare should be no less than that of any other drive in the same array. This must be true of every array that uses that drive as an online spare. 7. Click the Assign Spare to Array button in the lower middle part of the screen. 8. Click Done. 9. Click Settings in the Controller box on the main ACU screen. 10. In the Rebuild Priority box on the Controller Settings screen, select High if rebuilding data is more important than handling operating system requests. If the controller should rebuild data only when it is idle, select Low. CAUTION: Selecting a high rebuild priority results in reduced server performance while the rebuild is in progress. Selecting a low rebuild priority does not affect server performance, since rebuilding then occurs only when the server is idle. However, selecting a low rebuild priority greatly increases the time required for a rebuild. This extended rebuild time substantially increases the risk that another drive will fail before the rebuild has finished. If additional drive failure occurs, fault tolerance may be compromised, and data may be irretrievably lost. 11. Click Done. 12. Select Save Configuration from the Controller menu. 13. Select Exit from the Controller menu.
