Running PDM

Predictive Data Migration (PDM) migrates data from the suspect physical drive to
a spare disk drive, similar to Rebuilding. But unlike Rebuilding, PDM acts before
the disk drive fails and your Logical Drive goes Critical.
You an also run PDM on a specific disk array, see "Running PDM on a Disk
Array" on page 109.
Also see "Predictive Data Migration (PDM)" on page 246.
To run PDM:
1. In Tree View, click the Subsystem
2. In Management View, click the Background Activities tab and choose Start
Media Patrol from the dropdown menu.
3. In the next screen, choose the Source and Target physical drives.
The suspect physical drive is the source. The replacement physical drive is
the target.
4. Click the Start button.
