Adaptec Storage Manager Pro User's Guide After the task is complete, its information disappears from the Tasks tab. See Understanding the Details Pane Status Column on page 6-6. Understanding Array Creation When you create an array, Storage Manager Pro creates the array immediately. If the array is a redundant array type (mirror set [RAID 1], RAID 5 set, stripe set of mirror sets [RAID 0/1], or stripe set of RAID 5 sets [RAID 0/5]), Storage Manager Pro performs a Build task after it creates the array. It is the Build task whose progress you can view or terminate. Caution: You risk losing data if you terminate the Build task. Terminating a Task You can terminate some tasks in Storage Manager Pro at any time. Some tasks take only a few seconds or less to complete. These tasks do not last long enough to permit termination. If you terminate the Build task, the array exists but is not usable. To make the array usable, you need to delete the array and re-create it. To terminate a task: 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. 3 Select the task that you want to terminate. 4 Click Terminate. The task stops running. Understanding the Details Pane Status Column The Status column for each device in the Details pane may display an indicator that changes based on the condition of the device: I None-Device is working. 6-6

After the task is complete, its information disappears from the Tasks
tab. See
Understanding the Details Pane Status Column
on page 6-6.
Understanding Array Creation
When you create an array, Storage Manager Pro creates the array
immediately. If the array is a redundant array type (mirror set
[RAID 1], RAID 5 set, stripe set of mirror sets [RAID 0/1], or stripe
set of RAID 5 sets [RAID 0/5]), Storage Manager Pro performs a
Build task after it creates the array.
It is the Build task whose progress you can view or terminate.
Caution:
You risk losing data if you terminate the Build task.
Terminating a Task
You can terminate some tasks in Storage Manager Pro at any time.
Some tasks take only a few seconds or less to complete. These tasks
do not last long enough to permit termination.
If you terminate the Build task, the array exists but is not usable. To
make the array usable, you need to delete the array and re-create it.
To terminate a task:
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.
3
Select the task that you want to terminate.
4
Click
Terminate
.
The task stops running.
