Set Background Initialization Rate
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features .
The Set Background Initialization Rate task changes the amount of system
resources dedicated to the background initialization task. For more
information on the background initialization task, see
Background
Initialization on PERC Controllers
.
The background initialization rate, configurable between 0% and 100%,
represents the percentage of the system resources dedicated to running the
background initialization task. At 0%, the background initialization has the
lowest priority for the controller, takes the most time to complete, and is the
setting with the least impact to system performance. A background
initialization rate of 0% does not mean that the background initialization is
stopped or paused.
At 100%, the background initialization is the highest priority for the
controller. The background initialization time is minimized and is the setting
with the most impact to system performance.
To change the controller’s background initialization rate:
1 Type a numerical value in the New Background Initialization Rate text
box. The value must be within the 0 – 100 range.
2 Click Apply Changes . To exit and cancel your changes, click Go Back to
