Dell OMSA Storage Auto Patrol Read Schedule

  • 772

My Dell servers with Perc H700 Controller are automatically performing periodic Patrol Reads.

Is there a way to set schedule for these checks?

    There is no way to control Patrol Reads if it is set to run automatically. You will have to switch to manual and schedule checks. From OMSA CLI:

    Use

    omreport storage controller to find controller Id.

    Set Patrol Read Mode to Manual:

    omconfig storage controller action=setpatrolreadmode controller=XX mode=manual where XX is correct controller Id

    Command to schedule (to run Patrol Read):

    omconfig storage controller action=startpatrolread controller=XX
