User Action​

  1. Replace each failed disk with one of the same type (SAS SSD, enterprise SAS, or midline SAS) and the same or greater capacity. For continued optimum I/O performance, the replacement disk should have performance that is the same as or better than the one it is replacing.
  2. Configure disks as dedicated spares or global spares.
    • For a dedicated spare, the disk must be of the same type as the other disks in the disk group and at least as large as the smallest-capacity disk in the disk group, and it should have the same or better performance.
    • For a global spare, it is best to choose a disk that is as big as or bigger than the largest disk of its type in the system and of equal or greater performance. If the system contains a mix of disk types (SAS SSD, enterprise SAS, or midline SAS), there should be at least one global spare of each type (unless dedicated spares are used to protect every disk group of a given type).
