Planning: MD3200i Series Storage Array Terms and Concepts 47
Disk Group Operations Limit
The maximum number of active, concurrent disk group processes per
installed RAID controller module is one. This limit is applied to the following
disk group processes:
• Virtual disk RAID level migration
• Segment size migration
• Virtual disk capacity expansion
• Disk group expansion
• Disk group defragmentation
If a redundant RAID controller module fails with an existing disk group
process, the process on the failed controller is transferred to the peer
controller. A transferred process is placed in a suspended state if there is an
active disk group process on the peer controller. The suspended processes are
resumed when the active process on the peer controller completes or is
stopped.
NOTE: If you try to start a disk group process on a controller that does not have an
existing active process, the start attempt fails if the first virtual disk in the disk group
is owned by the other controller and there is an active process on the other
controller.
RAID Background Operations Priority
The storage array supports a common configurable priority for the following
RAID operations:
• Background initialization
•Rebuild
•Copy back
• Virtual disk capacity expansion
• Raid level migration
• Segment size migration
• Disk group expansion
• Disk group defragmentation
