Maintenance page

Check SMART Thresholds. This test checks to see whether SMART thresholds have been exceeded.

The SMART thresholds indicate when a drive is likely to fail, based on the number of errors that have been recorded through SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology).

If any of the disk drives have detected a “threshold exceeded” condition, then an AEN is logged to the 3DM Alarms page. Moreover, if anything unusual is found during any self-test, it will be logged as an Alarm.

Figure 39. Maintenance Page

The Maintenance page appears when you choose Management > Maintenance from the menu bar.

The Maintenance page lets you perform maintenance tasks on existing units on the current controller and lets you create new units by configuring available drives.

Information about the Maintenance page is organized under these headings:

•Rescan Controller

•Unit Maintenance

•Maintenance Task Buttons

•Available Drives (to Create Units)
