Adaptec CI/O Management Software User's Guide first. If an error message indicates that the pool spare is not at least as large as the smallest disk in the array, add a larger spare. Performing Spare Operations The following are spare operations available in Adaptec CI/O Management Software: s Testing All Spares on page 7-10 s Blinking the Spare Drive Light on page 7-11 s Deleting a Spare on page 5-17 Note: All spare operations apply only to the spares on the currently selected controller. Testing All Spares Reliable spares must be available to immediately (and automatically) replace any array disk that fails. Spares should be tested regularly to assure that they are working properly. We recommend that you test all spares daily. You can run this operation immediately by issuing a command, or you can use the Scheduler function to set up a recurring check of all the spares at a time when few, if any, users are logged on to the system. Note: Adaptec CI/O Management Software automatically sets up a daily Test All Spares operation on the server. We recommend that you leave this default setting. Follow these steps to test all spares: 1 Click to open the Storage Configuration window. 2 Right-click the icon of any spare in the Logical Resources window and select Test All Spares from the drop-down menu. The Scheduler dialog box appears, as shown in Setting Scheduling Options on page 8-2. 7-10
