USER MANUAL
Tree View and Information View display the progress (below).
During the Rebuild process, the array will be available for use but it may run noticeably
slower.
If the beeper is enabled, it will beep slowly during this process.
If the popup messages are enabled, one will notify you when the Rebuild is successfully
completed. The array will return to Functional status.
Rebuild Settings
Beeper
- Right-click on the Controller
icon and select Beeper from the popup menu. A
checkmark means the beeper is enabled.
Disable Hot Spare/Auto Rebuild
- Disables automatic rebuilding using a hot spare drive or a
newly installed replacement drive. With this option checked, you must initiate rebuilding
manually. See RAID 1 (Mirroring) and Hot Spare Drive.
Rebuild/Sync Rate
- Allocates system resources between rebuilding the array and responding
to read/write commands from the computer system.
A
High
setting assigns most of the system resources to a rebuild or synchronization of the
array. The process will finished sooner but read/write requests are handled slower.
A
Low
setting assigns most of the system resources to handling read/write requests. Read/
write requests are handled at nearly normal speed while the rebuild or synchronization takes
longer.
