ezRAID3 Manager GUI Version 1.0
6 View Policy Settings
Overview
The Policy Settings dialog allows you to view the current settings for Rebuild and Verify
operations for SAFE volumes, including:
Init Rebuild: Defines whether to automatically copy (mirror) the contents of Disk 0 to
Disk 1 whenever a new SAFE volume configuration is created. When this policy is
“Enabled”, the data from Disk 0 will be automatically copied (mirrored) to Disk 1.
When this policy is “
Disabled”, no automatic copy is performed.
Auto Rebuild: Defines whether to remember the non-usable state of a hard drive if it is
disconnected and then re-connected to the SteelVine Storage Processor. When this
policy is “
Enabled”, the system will always attempt to rebuild a disk that has been
inserted, even if that disk had previously been identified as non-usable. When this
policy is “
Disabled”, the system will not rebuild a disk that had previously been
identified as non-usable.
Verify Rebuild: Defines whether to automatically perform a verification of the data after
a rebuild operation is completed. When this policy is set to “
Enabled”, a verification
of the copied data is automatically performed. When this policy is “
Disabled”, an
automatic verification of the copied data is not performed, and any verification would
need to be launched manually through the SteelVine Manager GUI.
These settings are based on the hard-strapping of GPI pins 5, 6 and 8 and cannot be modified
through the SteelVine Manager GUI.
Accessing the Policy Settings Dialog
