Note:
Status screens are not shown for conversions from
RAID 5 CVT to RAID 0 CVT, because the conversions are
instantaneous.
Canceling a Conversion
You can cancel a conversion of RAID 0 CVT to RAID 5 CVT while it
is underway by using either of the following procedures:
■
From the Convert Menu, select
A
bort Convert
.
■
At the status bar screen, press
Esc
. From the menu that
appears, select
A
bort
.
An onscreen message confirms that the conversion was aborted. The
array remains a RAID 0 CVT array.
Changing the Priority of a Conversion in Progress
If a conversion is slowing other server operations unacceptably, you
can lower the priority of the conversion on the server. You can speed
a conversion by increasing its priority.
Change the priority at either the Convert Menu or at the screen
showing the status bar:
■
From the Convert Menu, select
Change P
riority
. A prompt
appears, indicating the current priority and asking for the new
priority. Type a number from 0 through 9, where 0 is the lowest
priority.
■
From the status bar screen, press
Esc
. From the menu that
appears, select
Change P
riority
. When prompted to select a
new priority, type a number from 0 through 9, where 0 is the
lowest priority.
The conversion continues automatically, running at the new prior-
ity.
