This submenu option allows you to add a Hot Fix drive to an existing RAID 1, RAID 4, RAID
5, or RAID 10 Array Drive.
There are two different types of Hot Fix drives: Private and Pool Hot Fix drives.
A Pool Hot Fix Drive is a spare drive within the so-called Hot Fix Pool. A drive in a Hot Fix
Pool is available for several Array Drives as a Hot Fix drive. Thus, several Array Drives can
share one Hot Fix drive. Of course, once this drive has been used by one of the Array Drives,
it is no longer available for the others.
A Private Hot Fix drive is dedicated to one RAID 1, RAID 4, RAID 5 or RAID 10 Array Drive.
Only drives that meet the following requirements are suitable as Hot Fix drives:
1. The Logical Drive that is to become a Hot Fix drive must not be an active component
of another Array Drive.
2. The Logical Drive that is to become a Hot Fix drive must have a storage capacity
greater than or equal to the storage capacity of the smallest Logical Drive of the Array
Drive. Example: A type RAID 5 Array Drive consists of the following components:
Logical Drive 0 2000MB
Logical Drive 1 1500MB
Logical Drive 2 1100MB
Logical Drive 3 2000MB
This Array Drive has a usable storage capacity of 3300MB. A Hot Fix drive for this array
must have at least 1100MB of storage capacity. (Note: in order not to waste valuable
storage capacity, it is strongly recommended that all Logical Drives forming an Array
Drive have the same storage capacity.)
