Usage examples:
RAID Rebuilding is an essential part of the RAID technology. Without it, an array would only
accept one and only failure, after which the data would not be considered as safe. This is for this
reason that enabling an Automatic RAID Rebuild feature greatly reduces the time window at
which an array is considered at risk, i.e, when one of its components, or disk, has failed or has
been removed.
However, this feature requires a sacrifice of one or more disk per array in order to work
automatically. But peace of mind can sometimes balance the lost of storage space.
The RAID rebuild feature can be used in conjunction with the Alert manager, which will alert
the system administrator in case of a disk failure. Activating the Automatic Rebuild feature will
then rebuild the degraded RAID automatically and immediately, together with alerting the
system administrator that a RAID had gone in a degraded state and is now being rebuilt.
4.5. Using Filters in the GUI
This section outlines the usage of filters for administration purposes and ease of use within the
AIC RAID Controller GUI.
The system you are working is a complex system, which can gather and accumulate a lot of
assets and information that can cause confusion if not presented properly to the User.
For this reason, a set of data and asset “filters” were implemented to facilitate the usage and the
information finding on this system.
The filters can be used within the GUI with any item that is listed in a data list, i.e., an item
present in a table with columns and rows, and can be combined between elements for a narrower
search.
Using filters – How to use the filters within the GUI:
For documentary purposes, we will use the filters within the Log Viewer only, although it is
good to note that they can be used in many of the GUI’s sections.
Locating the “Filter” button:
Although the filter feature is very intuitive, the User has to know where to find the feature first.
The filter menu is located at the top of a data sheet’s column, represented by a small pin icon.
