The task control commands allow you to pause/resume or to cancel (remove) tasks being performed on arrays.
Full task control can be used on create, copy, consistency check and bitmap check tasks. On transforms and
on restores to distributed spares, tasks can only be paused/resumed, but cannot be removed. On restores with
dedicated or global spares the task may be removed, but the array will return to the critical state.
To interrupt or cancel a task:
1.
Select the array upon which the task is being performed and right-click. If the task is a copy, you can select
either the source array or the destination array.
2.
From the menu, select
Task - Pause
to interrupt the task, or
Task - Remove
to cancel the task.
Notes:
•
Task priority can be set only when a task is running on the array.
•
Tasks include functions such as transforms, copies, restores, or consistency checks.
Note:
Task control can only be used when a task is running on the array.
