Adding A Drive To A Virtual Disk - Intel AFCSASRISER User Manual

Note: The Controller Go To tab also has options for disabling or silencing the alarm on the controller.
Ordinarily, you should leave the alarm enabled so it can warn you of abnormal conditions on the
controller. If the alarm is malfunctioning, you may need to silence it.

Adding a Drive to a Virtual Disk

You can use Intel
adding physical disk drives to it. In order to do this, you must be logged on to the system in All
Access mode.
Warning: Before you change a virtual disk's capacity, back up the data on the virtual disk.
To increase the capacity of a virtual disk, follow these steps:
118
— Background Initialization (BGI) Rate Enter a number from 0 to 100 to control the
rate at which virtual disks are initialized in the background. Background
initialization makes the virtual disk immediately available for use, even while the
initialization is occurring. The higher the number, the faster the initialization occurs.
However, if a higher number is selected, the system I/O rate may be slower.
— Check Consistency Rate. Enter a number from 0 to 100 to control the rate at which
a consistency check is done. A consistency check scans the consistency data on a
fault tolerant virtual disk to determine if the data is corrupted. The higher the
number, the faster the consistency check is done. However, if a higher number is
selected, the system I/O rate may be slower.
— Reconstruction Rate. Enter a number from 0 to 100 to control the rate at which
reconstruction of a virtual disk occurs. The higher the number, the faster the
reconstruction will occur. However, if a higher number is selected, the system I/O
rate may be slower.
4. Click OK to accept the new task rates.
5. When the warning message is displayed, click OK to confirm that you want to change
the task rates.
