Chapter 9: Managing Logical Drives and Hot Spares ● 93 What Do the Hot Spare Icons Mean? Icon Explanation Action ■ Healthy global or dedicated hot spare No action required. ■ Hot spare is not assigned to any logical drives ■ Create at least one logical drive on the same controller ■ Hot spare is too small to ■ Designate larger disk drive as protect the logical drive(s) it's hot spare assigned to ■ Global hot spare was designated before any logical drives were built ■ Create at least one logical drive on the same controller ■ Hot spare has been built into a logical drive after disk drive failure ■ Designate replacement or other available disk drive as new hot spare; remove 'hot spare' designation from disk drive (see below) Removing a Hot Spare You can remove a global hot spare or dedicated hot spare. You may want to do this to: ● Make disk drive space available for a logical drive. ● Make a dedicated hot spare into a global hot spare or a global hot spare into a dedicated hot spare. ● Remove the 'hot spare' designation from a disk drive that is no longer being used as a hot spare. (When a hot spare is built into a logical drive after a disk drive failure, it retains its 'hot spare' designation even though it can no longer protect the logical drives it's assigned to. See Recovering from a Disk Drive Failure on page 147 for more information.)
