Considerations For Hot Spare Protection Policy
The dedicated hot spare protection policy is not applicable to SAS/iR, PERC, and H200 controllers.
RAID 0 does not support hot spares or protection policy.
For SAS/iR and PERC H200 family of controllers, you can assign only two global hot spares.
If the status of the virtual disk is displayed as
Degraded or
Failed because of the hot spare protection policy violation, then assign the required number of hot spares (as defined in the protection policies) for the status to be displayed as normal.
The Hot-Spare Protection Policy is not applicable for all software RAID controllers.
