• The disk does not meet the minimum requirements for use in a RAID array.
• The disk is not large enough to mirror existing data on the primary drive.
• The disk has been selected as the Hot Spare for the RAID array.
• The disk is already part of another array.

screen shows the disks you can add to make up the
IME volume.

mirrored disks plus a hot spare disk. Use the arrow key to select a disk, then
move the cursor to the RAID Disk column. To include this disk in the array,

You may also specify the Hot Spare disk here. Select the disk, then move the
cursor to the Hot Spr column, then press <+>, <->, or <Space>.
