The Complete with Errors status signifies that one or more read operations failed; this may mean the job uncovered a disk error. If a disk error has occurred, the "Log Monitor Summary" on page 199 on the Background Job tab displays a sum of errors and presents a link to view error detail and drive recommendations. • % Complete - the percentage of cartridges read so far. To delete jobs from the status table, check the jobs in the Select column, and then select Delete Selected. Starting and Reviewing Background Jobs The Background Job tab displays information for all previous and current Background jobs. The Storage Pool and Compressibility Ratio fields contain the default information entered in the Configuration tab. To begin a Background job: 1. If you want the job to stop after a particular time period, enter the test duration in the appropriate field. Otherwise, leave the Unlimited box checked to allow the test to run indefinitely. 2. If you want to restrict the maximum amount of data the job will write, enter the amount in GB in the appropriate field. Otherwise, leave the Unlimited box checked to allow it to write any amount of data. 3. Select Start. The job appears in the status table and will run, reading and writing data continuously, until the job duration is complete (if you added one) or until you cancel the job. Select Cancel in the appropriate row to cancel a Background job. NOTE: During a job, one cartridge per storage pool involved in the job is created to support the background process. This cartridge can be found under the VLS cartridge list prefixed with "StorageExerciser_." You can only start one Background job at a time. You must have at least 5 GB of free space on your VLS in order to run a Background job. If less than 5 GB is available, the Background job will fail. The status table displays: • Start Time - the date and time the job began. • End Time - the date and time the job ended. • Current Iteration - the number of the current iteration of the read/write process. • Failed Iterations - the number of iterations that failed due to decompression error or other error. • Data Written - the amount of data in bytes that has been written for all iterations combined. • Data Read - the amount of data in bytes that has been read for all iterations combined. • Status - the state of the jobs can be In Progress, Cancelling, Cancelled, Complete, or Complete with Errors. The Complete with Errors status signifies that one or more read operations failed; this may mean the job uncovered a disk error. If a disk error has occurred, view the Log Monitor Summary. To delete jobs from the status table, check the jobs in the Select column, and then select Delete Selected. 198 Monitoring
