A spare disk needs to be
the same size as the size
of the drives in the
RAID it will be used in.
RAID Role summary.
Can be “Free”, “Used”,
“Dedicated Spare” or
“Global Spare”
This Disk is Offline.
This view gives you a detailed list of all the disks connected to your system. Here we can see that
one disk has become offline. It belongs to the array called “RAID 5” that we have used
previously.
We can see that two of the RAID pool disks do not belong to any RAID (i.e. the RAID column
shows them as “n/a” or Not Available.). Moreover, their “RAID Role” status is set to “Free”,
which means they have not been reserved for a later use, nor been set as “Dedicated Spare” or
“Global Spare” disks.
We now need to pick one of these disks to replace the missing drive from the “RAID 5” array.
We first make sure that this new drive is the same size as the missing drive by comparing the
displayed size of the free disks with the one of the missing disk.
In the above example, the free drives and the missing drive are all 8GB, which makes the two
free drives ideal candidates to become “Hot Spares”.
We then choose one of these two drives, and click on the drive’s “Edit” button. The “Disk Edit”
view is then displayed as shown below:
