Controller Settings Chapter 5: Monitor and Manage Click on the Settings tab to access controller settings. • Rates - Allocates system resources between the background process (such as Rebuild, Media Patrol, Expansion/Migration, Initialization and Synchronization) and the data read/write activity. A High setting assigns most of the system resources to background processes. The process will finished sooner but read/write requests are handled slower. A Medium setting tries to balance system resources between the background processes and data input/output activity. A Low setting assigns most of the system resources to handling read/write requests. Read/write requests are handled at nearly normal speed while the background processes take longer. • Automatic Rebuild Status - When enabled, and a hot spare drive is available, a critical or degraded logical drive will rebuild itself automatically. Automatic Rebuilding applies to RAID 1 and 3-drive RAID 5 logical drives only. • Buzzer - When enabled, the FastTrak controller's buzzer will sound to report a problem. • S.M.A.R.T. Status - SMART, an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, is a feature of the disk drive software. When enabled, the FastTrak controller polls the disk drives for SMART information and reports it to you. • Enclosure Polling Interval - The FastTrak controller periodically polls the SuperSwap enclosure for information and displays it in WebPAM.
