Suspending and

Resuming Virtual Drive
Operations

MegaRAID provides background Suspend and Resume features that enhances the
functionality. The background operations on a virtual drive can be suspended using
the Suspend option, and later resumed using the Resume option. The suspended
operation resumes from the point where the operation was suspended.

If any operation is stopped before completion, it is considered to be aborted. An
aborted operation cannot be resumed from the place is was stopped.

NOTE: Suspend and resume are applicable for all the background operations, such as
background initialization, rebuild and consistency check notes.
