Background Operations Support
The application provides background Pause, Resume, Abort, Pause All, Resume All, and Abort All features that enhance the functionality where operations running in the background on a drive or a logical drive can be paused for some time, and resumed later.
The background operations, including Consistency Check, Rebuild, Replace, and Initialization 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.
To perform Pause, Resume, and Abort operations, go to the Background Processes in Progress window in the Server dashboard or the Controller dashboard, and perform the following steps. The Background Processes in Progress window appears.
-
Pause – Click Pause to suspend the background operation taking place at that particular point of time.
When the operations are paused, the Resume option appears instead of the Pause option.
- Resume – Click Resume to resume the operation from the point where it was suspended.
- Abort – Click Abort to abort the ongoing active operation.
-
Pause All – Click Pause All to suspend all the active operations.
This option is enabled only if one or more background operations are in an Active state.
-
Resume All – Click Resume All to resume all Paused operations from the point at which they were paused.
This option is disabled if no operations are paused.
- Abort All – Click Abort All to abort all active operations.
If the Copyback progress bar does not automatically display the progress of the Copyback operation for small-size volumes, set the maximum event grouping time gap to 0
in the LSA.conf
file.
