Performing Array, Spare, and Disk Operations 3 Select Rename from the drop-down menu.The Change Name dialog box appears. 4 Type the new array name and click OK. 5 At the prompt, confirm that you want to change the array name. This change appears immediately in the Storage Configuration window. Forcing a Spare Forcing a spare means issuing a command for a spare disk to replace a specific disk in an array. You can do this if the array disk is not performing well or is giving some indication that an array member may fail soon (for example, if a S.M.A.R.T. predictive failure notification is received). If an array member actually does fail, a spare replaces it automatically without requiring you to force a spare. Follow these steps to force a spare: 1 Be sure that one or more spares are available for the array. These can either be dedicated spares for the array or spares from a spare pool. See Creating Dedicated Spares or a Spare Pool on page 5-14 for more information on configuring spares. 2 Click to open the Storage Configuration window. 3 Right-click on the icon of the array with the suspect disk and select Force a spare from the drop-down menu. This menu item appears dimmed if no spares are available. 4 Select the disk that you want to replace. 5 Click OK to replace this disk with a spare. 6 At the prompt, confirm that you want to replace the disk with the spare. At this point data I/O is paused to the disk, and the spare is automatically activated to replace it. If there is a pool of available spares, you cannot control which disk from the pool is activated when you force a spare. If both dedicated spares and pool spares are available, the dedicated spares are used 7-9
