Suspending the Media Scan

If you want to perform another long-running operation, you should suspend the media scan.

NOTE: A background media scan is the lowest priority of the long-running operations.

To suspend a media scan:

1In the AMW, select the Logical tab and select any virtual disk.

2Select Virtual DiskChangeMedia Scan Settings. The Change Media Scan Settings window is displayed.

3Select Suspend media scan.

NOTE: This applies to all the virtual disks on the disk group.
