Suspending The Media Scan

You cannot perform a media scan while performing another long-running operation on the disk drive such as

reconstruction, copy-back, reconfiguration, virtual disk initialization, or immediate availability formatting. If you want to

perform another long-running operation, you should suspend the media scan.

NOTE: A background media scan is the lowest priority of the long-running operations.

To suspend a media scan:

1. In the AMW, select the Storage & Copy Services tab and select any virtual disk.

2. From the menu bar, select Storage → Virtual Disk → Change → Media Scan Settings.

The Change Media Scan Settings window is displayed.

3. Select Suspend media scan.

NOTE: This applies to all the virtual disks on the disk group.

4. Click OK.
