AMCC 720-0138-00 manual Getting Started with Your 3ware RAID Controller

Chapter 1. Getting Started with Your 3ware RAID Controller

these features allow you to begin using your newly configured units right away. You can review and change these features as a final step in your initial setup, or you can make changes to them later, at your convenience. These features include:

•Controller and unit policies, such as Auto Rebuild, Auto Verify, use of write cache, use of queueing mode, and selection of a StorSave profile

•Email notification of alarms and other events

•Schedules for when background tasks will be performed, to minimize the impact on day-to-day performance during peak usage times. (Background tasks include rebuild, verify, initialize, migrate, and self-test.)

Details about these features are described in this user guide. When you first set up your controller, you may want to review these sections in particular:

•“Configuring Your Controller” on page 28

•“Setting Unit Policies” on page 44

•“Setting Background Task Rate” on page 75
