Connector Tasks
The following connector tasks are available when the Connector object is selected. See the enhanced
Storage Management online help for more information.
• Rescan Connector. This task rescans the controller connectors to verify the currently connected
devices or to recognize new devices that are added to the connectors. Performing a rescan on a
connector is similar to performing a rescan on the controller.
Enclosure Tasks
The following enclosure tasks are available when the Enclosure object is selected. See the enhanced
Storage Management online help for more information.
• Enable and Disable Alarm. Use these tasks to manage the enclosure alarm. When enabled, the alarm
sounds when the enclosure encounters an error condition.
•
Set Asset Data. Use this task to change the enclosure's asset tag and asset name.
•
Set Temperature Probe Values. The temperature probes monitor the enclosure's temperature. Each
temperature probe has a Warning and a Failure threshold. The Warning threshold indicates that the
enclosure is approaching an unacceptably warm or cool temperature. Use this task to modify the
Warning threshold.
•
Blink. Use the Blink task to blink the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the enclosure. You may want
to use this task to locate an enclosure. The LEDs on the enclosure may display different colors and
blinking patterns.
Temperatures Tasks
The following temperature probe tasks are available when the Temperatures object is selected. See the
enhanced Storage Management online help for more information.
• Set Temperature Probe. The temperature probes monitor the enclosure's temperature. Each
temperature probe has a Warning and a Failure threshold. The Warning threshold indicates that the
enclosure is approaching an unacceptably warm or cool temperature. Use this task to modify the
Warning threshold.
Array Disk Tasks
The following array disk tasks are available when the Array Disks object is selected. See the enhanced
Storage Management online help for more information.
• Blink and Unblink. The Blink task allows you to find a disk within an enclosure by blinking one of the
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the disk. The Unblink task cancels the Blink task.
•
Remove Dead Segments. In certain circumstances, this task enables you to recover disk space that is
currently unusable.
•
Assign and Unassign Global Hot Spare. See "Assign a Hot Spare."
•
Prepare to Remove. Use this task before removing a disk from an enclosure. It is recommended that
you perform this task before removing a disk to prevent data loss.
