The Foreign Configuration Operations task provides a preview of the foreign configurations that you can import. This task is available on PERC 6 controllers
with firmware version 6.1 and later. See "Foreign Configuration Operations" for more information.

Manage Physical Disk Power

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
The Manage Physical Disk Power task allows to manage the power consumed by the physical disks by spinning down the hotspares and unconfigured drives
if there are unattended for a specified amount of time. This option is provided only with PERC H700 and PERC H800 controllers with the firmware version 7.1
and above.
Set Rebuild Rate

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
The Set Rebuild Rate task changes the controller's rebuild rate.
During a rebuild, the complete contents of a physical disk are reconstructed. The rebuild rate, configurable between 0% and 100%, represents the percentage
of the system resources dedicated to rebuilding failed physical disks. At 0%, the rebuild will have the lowest priority for the controller, will take the most time
to complete, and will be the setting with the least impact to system performance. A rebuild rate of 0% does not mean that the rebuild is stopped or paused.
At 100%, the rebuild will be the highest priority for the controller, will minimize the rebuild time, and will be the setting with the most impact to system
performance.
On the PERC 3/SC, 3/DC, 3/QC, 4/SC, 4/DC, 4e/DC, 4/Di, 4e/Si, 4e/Di, and CERC ATA100/4ch controllers, the controller firmware also uses the rebuild rate
setting to control the system resource allocation for the following tasks. For these controllers, the rebuild rate setting applies to these tasks in the same
manner that it applies to the Rebuild task.
l "Check Consistency"
l Background Initialization (see "Cancel Background Initialization")
l Full Initialization (A BIOS setting determines whether a full or fast initialization occurs. See "Format and Initialize; Slow and Fast Initialize.")
l Reconfigure (see "Virtual Disk Task: Reconfigure (Step 1 of 3)")

Reset Configuration

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
Use the Reset Configuration task to erase all information on the controller so that you can perform a fresh configuration. This operation destroys all data and
virtual disks on the controller and unassigns any hot spares.
