Rebuild Rate. Use this option to view or change the rebuild rate. This
selection controls the amount of background activity that the controller
allocates to the Rebuild operation. The lowest priority setting is 0 (zero) and
the highest priority setting is 50 (default). Click on the arrows on the
horizontal bar to change the rate.
Rebuild Drive. This selection is used to rebuild a drive that was marked as
DED (on the drive matrix area) by the controller. Before this option is
invoked, the Dead drive has to be replaced with a properly working drive of
the same (or larger) size, and set to the same SCSI ID number as the dead
drive.
Click on the Rebuild Drive selection, and a screen appears providing
information about the drives connected to the selected controller.
Move the cursor to a dead drive box and click on the Dead Drive button to
start the rebuild. After the rebuild starts, the progress of the rebuild for every
dependent system drive is reported in another window that is opened by the
rebuild process. When Rebuild completes successfully, the status of the drive
is changed to ONL (Online). Click OK to exit the screen.
Consistency Check. Use this option to check the consistency of data across
a system drive (logical drive). When invoked, the screen shows all the
system drives as boxes. The system drive that is present and redundant is
highlighted. Click on the system drive to be checked to start the function.
The progress of the check is displayed on a horizontal bar. To change the rate
of the checking process, click on the arrows or on the bottom horizontal bar.
Stop the consistency check process by clicking on the Cancel button.
Kill Drive. Use this option to stop a working drive; that is, a drive with a
status other than DED. The drive graphic shows the drives that are connected
to the selected controller. Each box represents a drive and the status of the
drive is indicated by its label: SBY for Standby, DED for dead drives, ONL
for working drives, and --- for drives being rebuilt. Move the cursor to the
box that represents the drive that you want to stop and click on it.
Make Online. Use this option to set a drive state to Online. The drive must
be configured and should have a status other than ONLN. Drives with status
WRITE_ONLY (---) will be made online only if no Rebuild is in progress.
Care should be taken because changing the drive state to ONL may result in
data inconsistency.
