5.3.4 RAID Manager Function set
The RAID Manager Function set is provided for managing and displaying the existing
RAID sets. It contains seven functions: Identify RAID, Create RAID, Delete RAID, RAID
Information, Change RAID PWD, Rebuild Priority, and Standby Timer. The introduction is
as follows:
Identify RAID: user can identify the disk member of RAID set by this function. After user
enters this function and selects a RAID set, the corresponding disk led (ready) of disk
members of selected RAID set will become slow blinking and user can know the disk
members of the selected RAID set.
Create RAID: user can create a specific RAID set by this function. At first user needs to
select a RAID level, and then user can select disk members. After user selects RAID
level and disk members, the LCM system will compute a maximal RAID size and let user
to modify the RAID size. Notice that the user can only reduce the RAID size. And then,
user can set a specific RAID name of this RAID set. If user doesn't want set the RAID
name and presses 'Enter' to skip, the LCM system will apply the default RAID name to the
created RAID. At last user can input the password of the created RAID or skip to create a
non-password RAID. Finally, the specific RAID
set is created.
Delete RAID: user can delete a specific RAID set by this function. At first user needs to
select an existing RAID set. And then if there's RAID password in the RAID set, the LCM
system will request user to input password to authorize the deletion behavior. Otherwise,
the user can quickly delete the non-password RAID.
RAID Information: user can see the RAID information by this function. After user enters
this function and selects a RAID set, user can see the RAID name, RAID level, RAID
capacity, member count, and RAID state of the selected RAID set.
Change RAID PWD: user can change the password of the RAID set by this function. After
user enters this function and selects a RAID set, user needs to input the old password at
first. And then user needs to input the new password and re-type the password to confirm
the updated password.
Rebuild Priority: user can modify the rebuild priority of the RAID set by this function.
After user enters this function and selects a RAID set, user can select a rebuild priority
level. There are five levels from highest to lowest which higher level means the RAID
system will apply higher priority
to rebuild the RAID while there are other read/write operations in the same time.
Standby Timer: user can modify the standby timer of the RAID set by this function. After
user enters this function and selects a RAID set, user can modify the standby timer.The
standby timer means the idle waiting time of RAID set to force disk members enter the
Standby mode. Notice that, the setting of standby timer with 0 minute means the disk
members won't enter the Standby mode no matter how long the RAID set is in idle wating.
