Infortrend RAID Controller Manual

10-22
NOTE:
Clone + Replace:
Controller will enable all drives' S.M.A.R.T. function. If a drive
predicts problem, controller will report in the form of event log.
Controller will then clone the drive with predictable failure to a
standby spare drive and take “the predict failure drive” off-line as
soon as the cloning process is completed.
• If your system is using drives of different brand under the control of the same
controller, as long as they are ANSI-SCSI Informational Exception Control (IEC)
document X3T10/94-190 compatible, it should not be an issue working with the
controller.
Enabling the S.M.A.R.T. Feature
Follow the procedure listed below to enable S.M.A.R.T. on all drives.
1. First, enable the “Periodic Drive Check Time” function. In \View
and Edit Configuration Parameters\Drive-side SCSI
Parameters\Periodic Drive Check Time, choose a time interval.
2. In \View and Edit Configuration Parameters\Drive-side SCSI
Parameters\Drive Predictable Failure Mode , choose one
from “Detect Only,” “Detect, Perpetual Clone” and “Detect,
Clone+Replace.”
