Adaptec CI/O Management Software User's Guide Creating Dedicated Spares or a Spare Pool Each RAID 1, 0/1, or 5 array can have dedicated spares, which automatically replace failed disks only for that array. You can create dedicated spares when you create the array, or you can add them to the array at a later time. Each array controller can have a spare pool of multiple disks which automatically replace a failed disk on any array on the controller. We recommend using a spare pool instead of dedicated spares if you have two or more arrays on a controller. Pool spares give you more flexibility and provide good data protection with fewer disks than is required for dedicated spares. Pool spares must be at least as large as the array's member size. Some physical drives may be larger than the member size. Note: Adaptec CI/O Management Software is automatically configured to test all spares on the system once a day to assure they are always available to replace failed disks in arrays. We recommend that you leave this default setting. Follow these steps to add a dedicated spare or a pool spare: ! Caution: Before designating a disk as a spare, back up all data on the disk. All contents of a disk selected as a spare will be lost! 1 Click to open the Storage Configuration window. 5-14
