7.2.12 Background Suspend or
Resume Support
MegaRAID provides a background Suspend or Resume Support feature that enhances
the functionality where in the background operations running on a physical drive or a
virtual drive can be suspended for some time, and resumed later using the Resume
option.
The background operations, including consistency-check, rebuild, background
initialization, and patrol read, are supported by an abort operation. If any operation is
stopped before completion, it is considered to be aborted. An aborted operation
cannot be resumed from the place where it was stopped.
A suspended operation can be resumed later by using the Resume option, and the
suspended operation resumes from the point where the operation was suspended last.
To perform a suspend and resume operation, go to the Group Show Progress dialog,
and perform the tasks mentioned below. You also can select Show Progress from the
Manage menu, or select the More info link under the Background Operations portlet
on the dashboard
The Group Show Progress dialog appears, as shown in the following figure.
