Selecting Self-tests to be Performed

For 3ware RAID controllers (9550SX and newer), you can check the SMART
thresholds for drives. (For more information see the 3DM2 Reference section,
“Scheduling page” on page 205.)

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.

Note:

The scheduled tasks can be added in any order. For example a new task

scheduled for Tuesday (slot-2) will preempt the task originally scheduled for
Wednesday (slot-1).

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.
