User manual

You can enable the following Disk Health settings in the Global Setting dialog window (the

"setting" icon next to "?" on top right side of the screen):



Activate Predictive SMART Migration: With Predictive SMART Migration, a warning

message will pop up when an S.M.A.R.T error is detected on a hard disk drive (indicating

that the RAID group that the hard drive disk belongs to is likely to fail very soon.) The

migration sequence will be initiated for that RAID group to ensure the availability of that

RAID group. The data from the disk with errors will be migrated to a healthy spare drive.

The migration process is much faster than the standard rebuilding process.



Disk S.M.A.R.T polling time (minutes): This value is the interval the hard drive disks are

scanned for S.M.A.R.T errors and the default is 10 minutes.



TLER/ERC timer (seconds): This option allows system administrators to configure the

hard disk drive R/W response time. If you are not sure about the interval to set for the

timer, please leave it as is.
