Setting Background Task Rate
In 3DM, you can set the relative performance of background tasks (initializing, rebuilding/migrating, and verifying) in relation to normal I/O activity (reading and writing to disk).
Controllers can have separate settings for Rebuild/Migrate Rate and Verify Rate. (Initialization occurs at the Rebuild rate.)
To change the background task rate

1 | Choose Management > Controller Settings from the menu bar.

2 | In the Background Task Rate section of the Controller Settings page, select one of the five radio buttons to indicate the relative task rate for Rebuild and Verify Tasks.

The furthest left buttons set the firmware to the fastest rebuild and verify settings. This means that maximum processing time will be given to rebuilds or verifies rather than I/O. The furthest right buttons set the firmware to the slowest rebuild and verify settings, giving maximum processing time to I/O.
After you select one of the radio buttons, the page refreshes, and a message at the top confirms the change you have made.
