G.9 Changing the Utility Priority

You can change the priority at which all utilities (Verify, Reconstruct, Expand, Initialize, etc.) run when there are active I/O operations competing for the Galaxy 65 Subsystem’s CPU. The choices are:

•High (default)

•Medium

•Low

For example, select High if your highest priority is to get the array back to a fully fault-tolerant state. This causes heavy I/O with the host to be slower than normal. Select Low priority if streaming data without interruption, such as for a Web server, is more important than data redundancy. This allows the Reconstruct or other utility to run at a slower rate with minimal effects on host I/O.

To change the utility priority:

1From the System Menu, select Configuration Menu and press Enter. The Configuration Menu displays.

2Select Utility Priority and press Enter.

The Utility Priority screen displays. The current setting is marked with an * next to it.
