If the failed array disk is part of a redundant virtual disk, then the array disk failure should not result in
data loss if replaced immediately. The rebuild task is available when the Array Disks object is selected.

Global Tasks
The following global tasks are available when the Storage object is selected. See the Storage
Management online help for more information.
• Global Rescan. A global rescan updates configuration changes (such as new or removed devices) for all
controllers and their attached components.

Enable and Disable Smart Thermal Shutdown. By default, the operating system and server shut down
when the PV220S and PV221S enclosures reach a critical temperature of 0 or 50 degrees celsius. Using
the Enable Smart Thermal Shutdown task, however, you can specify that only the enclosure and not
the operating system and server be shut down when the enclosure reaches a critical temperature. To
restore the system to its default setting use the Disable Smart Thermal Shutdown task.

devices) for all components attached to the controller.

configuration. This operation destroys all virtual disks on the controller.
