Selecting Notification Options
This section of the Options windows allows users to select how they are notified of
a system event. A System Event includes driver-initiated Rebuilds (automatic rebuild
using a "hot" spare standby drive), user -initiated manual Rebuilds or manual
Synchronization, and Error-Handling reporting for these processes.
Enable audible prompt: Turns on/off an audible alarm of an event (typically a
drive failure, or completion of rebuild or synchronization).
Popup message box: Turns on/off the appearance of an event message box
that would typically indicate a drive failure, or completion of rebuild or
synchronization.
Use log file : Allows writing operating event logs of the array activity (alerts
and status reports) to a given file name and directory. If a file name is used
but the path left blank, the default directory is the same as the FastCheck
Utility (typically C:\Program Files\Promise\FastTrak100).
Use NT system event log: Is grayed out under Windows
95/98/2000/Millennium automatically. Under Windows NT4 and 2000, it
permits user to write array logging to NT's own event log.
1. To view FastCheck events under Windows NT or 2000, go to
Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer.
2. In the Event Viewer, choose "Log" from the m enu bar, then check
"Application." Any events generated by FastCheck will appear under the
Source column as "FastCheck."
On Errors section offers four radio button choices for the user to select what
procedure they would like to perform if an Error is detected during
automatic/manual Rebuilds or manual Synchronization. There are three
types of errors that FastTrak100 detects -- a data mismatch between the
primary and secondary drive, a physical media error on source or target
drive, or a total disk failure. The options for handling Errors are as follows:
