A standby drive acts as a spare to support automatic data rebuilding
after a physical drive in a fault tolerant (non-RAID 0) logical drive
fails. For a standby drive to take the place of another drive, it must
be at least equal in size to the failed drive. Also, the failed drive
itself must be from a RAID 1, 3, or 5. You can have one or more standby
drives associated with an array controller. To assign a global or local standby drive or to change a ready drive's
state to standby or a standby drive's state to ready:
If necessary, log into the configuration level of the program with
the ssconfig password.
SANscape displays the Make or Change Standby window.
If you want to select a different server or controller, click Cancel
to return to the SANscape tree view, select the correct server or controller
from the tree view, and repeat steps 2 and 3.
