Changing Adjustable Task Rates

Follow these steps if you need to change the adjustable rates for rebuilds
and other system tasks that run in the background:

Note:

LSI recommends that you leave the adjustable task rates at
their default settings to achieve the best system
performance. If you raise the task rates above the defaults,
foreground tasks will run more slowly and it may seem that
the system is not responding. If you lower the task rates
below the defaults, rebuilds and other background tasks
may run very slowly and may not complete within a
reasonable time. If you decide to change the values, record
the original default value here so you can restore them
later, if necessary:
Rebuild Rate: ____________
Background Initialization (BGI) Rate: ____________
Check Consistency Rate: ____________

1.

Select the Physical View tab in the left panel of the MegaRAID
Storage Manager window, and select a controller icon.

2.

In the right panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window, select
the Operations tab, and select Set Adjustable Task Rates.

The task rates appear in the right panel.

3.

Enter changes, as needed, to the task rates for Rebuild Rate,
Background Initialization (BGI) Rate (for fast initialization), and Check
Consistency Rate (for consistency checks). Each task rate can be
set from 0 to 100. The higher the number, the faster the activity will
run in the background, possibly impacting other system tasks.

4.

Click Go to accept the new task rates.

5.

When the warning message appears, click OK to confirm that you
want to change the task rates.
