Controlling Rate of Background Activities

The controller prioritizes background activities based on the specified control rates. When background activities are in progress, the controller is still available to the OS for normal operations. However, the response time may be slower depending on the background activity control rate.

The rate of various background activities can be modified from the Property tab for the Adapter, as shown in Figure 1. Move the slider to adjust the rates and then select Modify to confirm changes.

Note: For information on Synchronization Rate, Initialization Rate, Rebuild Rate, and Media Patrol Rate, see Glossary.
