Rebuild a Failed Physical Disk
If the failed physical disk is part of a redundant virtual disk, then the physical
disk failure should not result in data loss if replaced immediately. The rebuild
task is available when the Physical Disks object is selected. See the Storage
Management online help for more information.
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.
Controller Tasks
The following controller tasks are available when the Controller object is
selected. See the Storage Management online help for more information.
• Rescan Controller: A rescan controller updates configuration changes
(such as new or removed devices) for all components attached to the
controller.
•
Create Virtual Disk: See "Create Virtual Disk Wizard."
•
Enable, Disable, Quiet, and Test Alarm: These tasks enable you to
manage the controller alarm. For example, you can set the alarm to sound
in the event of a device failure or quiet the alarm once it is sounding.
•
Set Rebuild Rate: The rebuild rate refers to how much of the system's
resources are dedicated to rebuilding a failed physical disk. This task
enables you to adjust this setting.
•
Reset Configuration: This task erases all information on the controller, so
that you can perform a fresh configuration. This operation destroys all
virtual disks on the controller.
