Introduction
The Adaptec 2810SA controller supports two types of hot spares:
■ Global—Protects every array that the drive has enough
available capacity to protect.
■ Dedicated—Protects only the array that it has been assigned to
protect.
Automatic Failover
This feature allows the controller to automatically rebuild an array
when a failed drive is replaced with a new drive. This feature
applies only to redundant arrays in SES- or SAF-TE-enabled drive
enclosures. See page A-10 for details.
