Selecting Self-tests to be Performed
For 3ware RAID controllers older than the 9690SA, two self-tests can be set:
one to check whether UDMA Mode can be upgraded (PATA drives only), and
another to check whether SMART thresholds have been exceeded. For the
9690SA, you can only check the SMART thresholds for drives. (For more
information about these self-tests, see the 3DM Reference section,
“Scheduling page” on page 228.)
Initially, these tests are set to run every 24 hours. You can change the schedule
for when they are run, and you can disable the tests, if you prefer not have to
have them performed.
To select self-tests to be performed
1 Choose Management > Schedule from the menu bar.
The Scheduling page appears, showing the schedule for Rebuild Tasks.
2 Select Self-test Tasks from the drop-down list at the top of the page.
3 Check the boxes next to the self-tests you want to be performed.
To disable self-tests
Unlike scheduling of rebuilds and verifies, scheduling of self-tests is always
enabled.
To disable self-tests you must either remove all schedule times, or uncheck
the tests listed in the
Tasks column.
Note: These tasks will only be run during scheduled times if they are checked in
the Schedule Self-tests section of the Scheduling page. If neither of the tasks is
checked, self-tests will never run, even if you have scheduled time slots set.
