Using persistent hot-spare slots

The PERC series is configured so that the system backplane or storage enclosure disk slots are dedicated as hot-spare slots.

Any slots with hot-spares are persistent. If a hot-spare disk fails or is removed, a replacement disk that is inserted into the same slot automatically becomes a hot-spare with the same properties as the hot-spare slot it is replacing. If the replacement disk does not match the disk protocol and technology, it does not become a hot-spare.

For more information about persistent hot-spares, see the Dell OpenManage documentation available on the support site.

NOTE:If all the VDs that are associated with a dedicated hot-spare are removed, then the hot spare will be converted to a global hot-spare.
NOTE:If all the VDs attached to a controller are removed from a system, then the hot-spare slots, if any, will be deleted.
