Option Description
Update Firmware Reserved.
Flush Cache This option sends the contents of cache memory to the logical drives. If the
MegaRAID system must be powered down rapidly, you must flush the contents of
the cache memory to preserve data integrity.
Performance
Monitor On/Off This option displays a graphical representation of the logical drive performance.
Properties This option displays the adapter properties, which include the firmware and BIOS
version, the rebuild rate, cache memory size, fast initialization, and the logical
drive properties.
Diagnostics Reserved.
Rebuild Rate This option selects the amount of system resources devoted to rebuilding failed
disk drives. A higher percentage rate rebuilds drives faster, but can degrade the
system performance. The default rate is 30 percent.
Rescan This option scans the channels and ports, and updates the status of the
attached devices.
View Log This option displays the MegaRAID event log.
Enclosure
Management This option displays the fan temperature and voltage levels for the enclosure
cabinet. This option is available only on SCSI subsystems that support SAF-TE.
Alarm Control This option enables the audio alarm when a drive failure occurs. The alarm
generates a beeping sound when a disk fails. The sound continues until you select
Silence Alarm.
After a rebuild finishes, a beep signals that the rebuild is done.
Fast Initialization This option initializes a logical drive by writing zeros to the first sector of the logical
drive. Fast initialization occurs in 2 – 3 seconds.
Battery Status This option indicates whether the battery is operating properly.
S.M.A.R.T. Settings This option establishes the settings for the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and
Reporting Technology.
Disable Check
Consistency
Restoration When enabled, a check consistency restoration occurs after a check consistency
is interrupted, by a power failure, for example. When the power is restored, the
check consistency continues from the point at which it had stopped.
