Property Definition
Minimum Required Driver Version Displays the minimum driver version that is required by Storage Management.
This property is displayed only if the controller driver does not meet the minimum
requirement.
Number of Connectors Displays the number of connectors on the controller. Each connector can be
attached to physical disks or an enclosure. Depending on the controller type, the
connector can be either a SCSI channel or a SAS port.
Rebuild Rate Rebuild rate is the percentage of resources available on a system dedicated to
rebuild a failed disk when necessary. For more information on rebuild rate, see
Setting The Rebuild Rate.
NOTE: The value for the Revertible Hot Spare operation is the same as the
value set for the Rebuild Rate property.
BGI Rate The background initialization (BGI) rate is the percentage of resources available
on a system dedicated to perform the background initialization of a virtual disk
after it is created. For more information on BGI rate, see Setting Background
Initialization Rate.
Check Consistency Rate The check consistency rate is the percentage of resources available on a system
dedicated to perform check consistency on a redundant virtual disk. For more
information, see Performing A Check Consistency.
Reconstruct Rate The reconstruct rate is the percentage of resources available on a system
dedicated to reconstruct a disk group after adding a physical disk or changing
the RAID level of a virtual disk residing on the disk group. For more information
on reconstruct rate, see Setting The Reconstruct Rate.
Alarm State Displays whether the alarm on the controller is enabled or disabled.
NOTE: This property is displayed only for SCSI storage controllers.
Abort Check Consistency on Error Enables you to stop the Check Consistency operation on error. This property is
available only on controllers that have controller firmware version 6.1 and later.
Allow Revertible Hot Spare and
Replace Member
Enables the automatic copying of data from a physical disk to a hot spare (in
case of predictive failure) or from a hot spare to a physical disk (in case of
replacement of a degraded disk). For more information, see Enabling Revertible
Hot Spare.
Loadbalance Provides the ability to automatically use both controller ports or connectors
connected to the same enclosure to route I/O requests. This property is available
only on SAS controllers that have controller firmware version 6.1 and later.
Auto Replace Member on
Predictive Failure
Enables the automatic copying of data from a physical disk to a hot spare in case
of predictive failure. Use this property in conjunction with the Allow Revertible
Hot Spare and Replace Member property.
Redundant path view Indicates whether Storage Management has detected a redundant path
configuration. Storage Management detects a redundant path configuration
when both controller ports are connected to the same enclosure that is in a
64
