Enabling Media Patrol, PDM, and Power Management on a
Disk Array (CLU)
Media Patrol checks the magnetic media on physical drives. Predictive Data Migration (PDM)
migrates data from the suspect physical drive to a spare drive before the physical drive fails. Power
Management parks the heads, spins down, and stops rotation after a set period of time to reduce
power consumption.
Media Patrol, PDM, and Power Management are enabled by default. Enabled is the recommended
setting for both features.
To enable Media Patrol, PDM, and Power Management on a disk array:
1. Main Menu >> Disk Array Management
2. Highlight the disk array you want and press Enter.
3. Highlight Media Patrol and press the spacebar to toggle between Enable and Disable.
4. Highlight PDM and press the spacebar to toggle between Enable and Disable.
5. Highlight Power Management and press the spacebar to toggle between Enable and
Disable.
6. Press Control-A to save your settings.
