Rescan Controller

The Rescan Controller command can be used to check whether there are any new disks that were attached after a configuration was set. To rescan the controller, perform the following steps:

1Right-click the controller you want to rescan.

2Click Rescan Controller.

After the operation is finished, the console is refreshed and the newly attached disks (if there are any) will appear under the Array Disk Group object and under the controller object.

Flush Cache

The Flush Cache command forces the PERC 3/DC and PERC 3/QC controllers to write the contents of cache memory onto the virtual disks. You might want to use this option if you find your application or disks in an unstable condition.

Disable Sound

The Disable Sound command disables the alarm. If disabled, the alarm does not sound in the event of a device failure.
