Setting Background Task Rate

You can set the relative performance of background tasks (initializing, rebuilding/migrating, and verifying) in relation to normal I/O activity (reading and writing to disk).

1	Choose Management >> Controller Settings from the menu bar.

2	In the Background Task Rate section of the Controller Settings page, select one of the five radio buttons to indicate the relative task rate for Rebuild and Verify Tasks.

The furthest left buttons set the firmware to the fastest rebuild and verify settings. This means that maximum processing time will be given to rebuilds or verifies rather than I/O. The furthest right buttons set the firmware to the slowest rebuild and verify settings, giving maximum processing time to I/O.
