You can control the speed of the following RAID operations:
The speed that you select can affect the overall performance of the filer. You can vary the speed of an operation from a speed that minimally slows filer network operations to a speed that can severely slow filer network operations.
Before changing the speed of a RAID operation, you might want to determine the CPU load to see what effect the change might have on network performance.
To determine the CPU load on the filer when RAID operations are in progress, complete the following steps.

Consider increasing the RAID operation speed to hasten reconstruction. |
||
Consider decreasing the RAID operation speed to free CPU resources and possibly improve network performance. |
