Chapter 9: Managing Logical Drives and Hot Spares ● 93

What Do the Hot Spare Icons Mean?

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.)
