the System Browser window. While the task is running, you can:
■
See more detailed task progress. See the steps that follow.
■
Terminate the task. See
Terminating a Task
on page 6-6.
Some tasks take only a few seconds or less to complete. These tasks
do not last long enough to show task progress.
To see detailed task progress:
1
In the System Browser window, select the array, disk drive, or
other device that is affected by the task.
2
In the Details pane, click the
Tasks
tab.
The Tasks tab shows detailed information about any task that
is running that affects the selected device or array. The Caution
icon may show that a task is running on the selected array or
device, or that the array or device may not be ready for use.
When a task is running, some functions may not be available for the
selected array or device. The buttons for unavailable functions are
gray.
