It is only possible to create tasks for arrays or drives. If you select
Tas ks for a channel, controller, or the system, all relevant tasks will
be displayed.
When Adaptec Storage Manager is installed a scheduled task is
created to perform a weekly background consistency check of all
hot spares in the system. This task can be seen by clicking Task s
when it is blue, that is when nothing is selected.
New Tasks TabAllows you to create new tasks for an array or a drive. New Tasks
can either be run immediately, or scheduled to run at a later time.
Available tasks are Verify, Verify with Fix, and Clear. An
explanation of the impact of each task is given below.
