About Controller Policies

The following policies affect all units and drives on a controller and can be
adjusted as appropriate for your equipment. Controller policies are shown at
the bottom of the Controller Settings page in 3DM2 (Figure 32) and on the
Policy Control screen in 3BM (Figure 33).

Auto-Rebuild.

Determines whether the Auto-Rebuild policy is enabled or

disabled. When disabled, degraded units can only be rebuilt with
designated spares. When enabled, the controller firmware will
automatically attempt to rebuild a degraded unit if there is no spare, using
either an available drive or a failed drive.
