Task Throttling
Task Throttling causes an operation to pause for the allowed amount of
time whenever a disk I/O is performed, allowing the CPU to perform
other tasks.
Select the popup menu option Throttle Task to change the task
priority. You can change the priority for a single task, or select Throttle
All Tasks to apply the priority to all Volume Manager Tasks. Click Ok to
complete your selection.
Clearing Finished Tasks
Tasks are persistent in the Tasks console. To remove completed tasks
from the window, select Clear All Finished Tasks from the popup
menu.
Viewing Task Properties
To view task properties and the low-level commands used to perform a
task, select the task and choose Properties from the popup menu. You
can also access task properties by double-clicking on the task.

low-level commands used to perform the task. For failed tasks, the
command log includes any relevant error messages. The command log
file resides, and can be viewed, at /var/vx/isis/command.log.
