Compaq Infortrend manual Idle Drive Failure Detection

long as no host accesses that drive.

Idle Drive Failure Detection

Periodic Auto-Detect Failure Drive Swap Check Time

The “Drive-Swap Check Time” is the interval at which the controller checks to see whether a failed drive has been swapped. When a logical drive’s member drive fails, the controller will detect the failed drive (at the selected time interval). Once the failed drive has been swapped with a drive that has adequate capacity to rebuild the logical drive, the rebuild will begin automatically.

The default setting is “Disabled,” meaning that the controller will not Auto-Detect the swap of a failed drive. To enable this feature, select a time interval.

Choose “Periodic Drive Check Time;” then press [ENTER]. Move cursor to the desired interval; then press [ENTER]. Choose Yes in the dialog box that follows to confirm the setting.
