RAID Configuration and Management Spare The spare option is not supported by the ProLiant DL320 Generation 2 server or the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility. This option in the utility assigns an extra, unused drive as a spare to be used in case of a drive failure. The spare drive will not be used during normal system operation, and provides no additional storage capacity. A pre-configured spare hard drive will be brought into service only in the case of a RAID 1 failure. IMPORTANT: The spare option is applicable only in RAID 1 for the server. If a spare is not available, the failed drive must be replaced with a new drive so that the data on the failed drive can be rebuilt. The replacement drive capacity must be greater than or equal to the failed drive it replaces.
