With older controllers you can run into this situation:

We had one hot spare and to protect the load source drive it has to be in a load source capable position.

We lost a drive (not load source) and the hot spare activated taking the place of the dead drive.

Now we were in a tricky position.

Just replacing the dead drive meant that our load source drive would not be protected by the hot spare system.

We had to plan for a machine power down to move the drives around so we could end up with our hot spare in a load source capable position.

Is the Hot Spare per controller or per Raid5 set?

Thanks
