To change one of the properties displayed in the screen below, select the new value and click Submit. Figure 18. Additional Controller Properties • Battery Backup: Indicates if a battery backup unit is installed. • Set Factory Defaults: Change this field to Yes to reset the RAID controller settings to the factory defaults. • Cluster Mode: Enable this field if the RAID controller is used in a cluster. • Rebuild Rate: Enter a number between 0 and 100 to control the rate at which a future rebuild will be performed on a disk group. • Patrol Read Rate: A patrol read is a preventive procedure that monitors physical disks to locate and resolve potential problems that could lead to disk failure. Enter a number between 0 and 100 to control the rate at which patrol reads are performed. • BGI Rate (Background Initialization Rate): Background initialization makes the virtual drive immediately available for use, even while initialization is occurring. Enter a number between 0 and 100 to control the rate at which virtual drives are initialized in the background. • CC Rate (Check Consistency Rate): A consistency check scans the consistency of data on a fault-tolerant disk to determine if the data is corrupted.

Memory Size:
The memory size of the installed DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory
Module).
Max Stripe Size:
The maximum stripe size.
Physical Disk Count:
The number of physical disks connected to the RAID controller.
Additional Controller Properties
To access the screen that displays the additional controller properties, click
Next
on the
Controller Properties screen. To change one of the properties displayed in the screen below,
select the new value and click
Submit
.
Figure 18. Additional Controller Properties
Battery Backup:
Indicates if a battery backup unit is installed.
Set Factory Defaults:
Change this field to
Yes
to reset the RAID controller settings to
the factory defaults.
Cluster Mode:
Enable this field if the RAID controller is used in a cluster.
Rebuild Rate:
Enter a number between 0 and 100 to control the rate at which a future
rebuild will be performed on a disk group.
Patrol Read Rate:
A patrol read is a preventive procedure that monitors physical disks
to locate and resolve potential problems that could lead to disk failure. Enter a number
between 0 and 100 to control the rate at which patrol reads are performed.
BGI Rate (Background Initialization Rate):
Background initialization makes the
virtual drive immediately available for use, even while initialization is occurring. Enter a
number between 0 and 100 to control the rate at which virtual drives are initialized in the
background.
CC Rate (Check Consistency Rate):
A consistency check scans the consistency of data
on a fault-tolerant disk to determine if the data is corrupted. Enter a number between 0
and 100 to control the rate at which a consistency check is done.
Reconstruction Rate:
Enter a number between 0 and 100 to control the rate at which the
reconstruction of a virtual drive occurs.
