Drive Diagnostics; Preliminary Steps; Initializing And Verifying Drives - ATTO Technology FastStream VT 5700 Installation And Operation Manual

You may determine the performance of drives attached to the FastStream using the ExpressNAV VTL Manager.
The following instructions assume you have already
set up at least one RAID group.
The ATTO FastStream collects various metrics to
measure performance for physical drives attached to
the FastStream during normal system operation and
drive initialization and verification.
New performance data is updated every 60 seconds
which impacts performance slightly, even if you
minimize the browser window. Exit the ExpressNAV
VTL Manager completely whenever you need
maximum performance.
You may also access drive information using SCSI
Enclosure Services (SES). Refer to
Services (SES) on page 31.
