Scheduling Background Tasks
www.3ware.com 129
Adding a New Task Schedule Slot
When you add a rebuild/migrate or verify task schedule, you specify the day
of the week, time, and duration for the task. For self-test schedules, you
specify day and time, but not duration. (Duration is not required for self-tests.)
Depending on the schedule and system workload, background tasks may
require more than one scheduled duration to complete.
To add a task schedule slot
1 Choose Management > Schedule from the menu bar.
The Scheduling Page appears, showing the schedule for Rebuild/Migrate
Tasks.
2 To view Verify Tasks or Self-test Tasks, select it from the drop-down list
at the top of the page.
3 Scroll to the section of the Scheduling page that shows the task you want
to add.
4 In the fields at the bottom of the section, select the Day, Time, and
Duration for the task.
5 Click the Add New Slot button.
The page refreshes and the new schedule is added to the list.
Note: The scheduled tasks can be added in any order. For example
a new task scheduled for Tuesday (slot-2) will preempt the task
originally scheduled for Wednesday (slot-1).
Selecting Self-tests to be Performed
Two self-tests can be set, to check whether UDMA Mode can be upgraded,
and whether SMART thresholds have been exceeded. (For more information
about these self-tests, see the 3DM Reference section, “Scheduling Page” on
page 56.)
Initially, these tests are set to run every 24 hours. You can change the schedule
for when they are run, and you can disable the tests, if you prefer not have to
have them performed.
