Clustering - Specify correct drive size in SYMplicity Storage Manager for global hot spare
Applicable to: World-Wide
If you have hard drives of different sizes in a Fibre Channel RAID Controller configuration, such as 9GB and 18GB, you should not create a 9GB global spare and an 18GB global spare. The controller will not differentiate between size and pick the correct one. Use hard drives greater than or equal to your largest installed hard drive.
When a drive fails, the hot spare will start working. If you replace the failed drive while the hotspare is rebuilding, the hot spare will start to rebuild to the newly replaced drive. While they are rebuilding, the two drives will act like one drive. The end result is that the hot spare and the replaced drive are still located in their original bays.
