Chapter 1. Getting Started with Your 3ware RAID Controller
2 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide for the Power Mac G5
these features allow you to begin using your newly configured units right
away. You can review and change these features as a final step in your initial
setup, or you can make changes to them later, at your convenience. These
features include:
• Controller and unit policies, such as Auto Rebuild, Auto Verify, use of
write cache, use of queueing mode, and selection of a StorSave profile
• Email notification of alarms and other events
• Schedules for when background tasks will be performed, to minimize the
impact on day-to-day performance during peak usage times. (Background
tasks include rebuild, verify, initialize, migrate, and self-test.)
Details about these features are described in this user guide. When you first
set up your controller, you may want to review these sections in particular:
• “Configuring Your Controller” on page 28
• “Setting Unit Policies” on page 44
• “Setting Background Task Rate” on page 75
