Background Tasks

Cancelling a Rebuild and Restarting It with a Different Drive

You can cancel a rebuild by using the Remove Drive link on the

Maintenance page.

Note: If you want to pause the rebuild process through 3DM, you can do so by setting or changing the rebuild schedule on the Scheduling page. If you set a schedule for rebuilds that does not include the current time, the rebuild process will pause.

Setting Background Task Rate

In 3DM, you can set the relative performance of background tasks (initializing, rebuilding/migrating, and verifying) in relation to normal I/O activity (reading and writing to disk).

Controllers can have separate settings for Rebuild/Migrate Rate and Verify Rate. (Initialization occurs at the Rebuild rate.)

To change the background task rate

1Choose Management > Controller Settings from the menu bar.

2In the Background Task Rate section of the Controller Settings page, select one of the five radio buttons to indicate the relative task rate for Rebuild and Verify Tasks.

The furthest left buttons set the firmware to the fastest rebuild and verify settings. This means that maximum processing time will be given to rebuilds or verifies rather than I/O. The furthest right buttons set the firmware to the slowest rebuild and verify settings, giving maximum processing time to I/O.

After you select one of the radio buttons, the page refreshes, and a message at the top confirms the change you have made.
