Drive and choosing Properties; then on the Tools tab, click Check Now. Under
Linux or FreeBSD use the fsck utility command. For example,

fsck /dev/

sda1

.

Queuing.

(Not applicable for SAS drives) This policy enables or disables

Native Command Queuing (NCQ) for SATA drives in the unit. By default,
queuing is disabled. You can enable it, if desired.

NCQ only operates when the feature is enabled at both the drive and the
controller. If a drive does not support NCQ, the policy setting for the
controller is ignored.

Enabling NCQ can improve performance in many applications; it causes
command reordering to be done on the drive itself.

StorSave Profile.

The StorSave feature includes an option that lets you

change the StorSave Profile used for a unit. Three profiles are available:
Protection, Balanced, and Performance. These profiles automatically adjust
several different factors that affect protection and performance, including
whether FUA (Forced Unit Access) is honored, whether Write Journaling is
enabled, and whether Disable Cache on Degrade is enabled. For additional
information, see “Setting the StorSave Profile for a Unit” on page 123.

Rapid RAID Recovery.

Determines which Rapid RAID Recovery option to

use,

All

,

Rebuild

or

Disable

.

All

will apply the policy to both rebuilds and

unclean shutdowns.

Rebuild

will apply only to rebuilds. You can switch

between

All

and

Rebuild

settings. However, once Rapid RAID Recovery is

disabled for the unit, it cannot be re-enabled. For additional information, see
“Rapid RAID Recovery” on page 126.

Unit Names

Units can be assigned names. A name can be assigned when the unit is created
and can be changed from this screen. For additional information, see “Naming
a Unit” on page 115.

Note:

The policy Overwrite ECC is equivalent to the “Continue on Source Error”

option in 3BM and the “IgnoreECC” option in the CLI.

Note:

If the write cache setting is disabled for a unit, the StorSave Profile capability

does not apply and is automatically disabled.
