Note:
Pause I/O cannot assure the same level of protection
from electrical noise that you have when you replace a disk
in an enclosure that supports hot swapping. Every time you
use this feature, you should only perform one action—either
disconnecting a drive or inserting a drive, but not both.
Do
not replace a non-downed drive in a paused array, as this
may cause data to be corrupted. Instead, down the drive
first and then replace it.
Follow these steps to pause data I/O to a disk:
1
Click to open the Storage Configuration window.
2
Right-click the icon of the disk you want to pause and select
Pause I/O from the drop-down menu.
Note:
The Pause I/O command is disabled if a Verify,
Reconstruct, or Initialize operation is running.
3
When the Pause I/O dialog box appears, enter a pause interval
that does not exceed the maximum allowable pause period,
and click
OK to pause the disk. Wait a few seconds until data
I/O stops.
Note:
The minimum pause period is 5 seconds; the
maximum pause period is 120 seconds.
4
Complete your work before the pause period expires. I/O
resumes automatically at the end of this period.
