Maintaining Units Selecting Self-tests to be Performed For 3ware RAID controllers older than the 9690SA, two self-tests can be set: one to check whether UDMA Mode can be upgraded (PATA drives only), and another to check whether SMART thresholds have been exceeded. For the 9690SA, you can only check the SMART thresholds for drives. (For more information about these self-tests, see the 3DM Reference section, "Scheduling page" on page 228.) Initially, these tests are set to run every 24 hours. You can change the schedule for when they are run, and you can disable the tests, if you prefer not have to have them performed. Note: These tasks will only be run during scheduled times if they are checked in the Schedule Self-tests section of the Scheduling page. If neither of the tasks is checked, self-tests will never run, even if you have scheduled time slots set. To select self-tests to be performed 1 Choose Management > Schedule from the menu bar. The Scheduling page appears, showing the schedule for Rebuild Tasks. 2 Select Self-test Tasks from the drop-down list at the top of the page. 3 Check the boxes next to the self-tests you want to be performed. To disable self-tests Unlike scheduling of rebuilds and verifies, scheduling of self-tests is always enabled. To disable self-tests you must either remove all schedule times, or uncheck the tests listed in the Tasks column. 178 3ware SAS/SATA RAID Software User Guide, Version 9.5.1
