Configured slot behavior

This feature is similar to persistent hot spare slot behavior. If a redundant VD is configured to the system and if a drive is replaced, the configured slot will automatically rebuild or copyback on the inserted drive regardless of the data on the drive. This operation will overwrite the data on the drive.
