Background Operations Support
This section describes the background operations that are supported by the LSI Storage Authority software.
The LSI Storage Authority software provides background Suspend, Resume, Stop, Suspend All, Resume All, and Stop All features that enhance the functionality where the background operations running on a physical drive or a virtual drive can be paused for some time, and resumed later.
The background operations, including Consistency Check, Rebuild, Replace, and Initialization, are supported by a Stop operation. If any operation is stopped before completion, it is considered to be aborted. An aborted operation cannot be resumed from the place where it was stopped.

-
Suspend – Click Suspend to suspend the background operation taking place at that particular point of time.
When the operation is paused, the Resume option appears instead of the Suspend option.
- Resume – Click Resume to resume the operation from the point of its last suspension.
- Stop – Click Stop to stop the ongoing active operation.
-
Suspend All – Click Suspend All to suspend all active operations.
This option is enabled only if one or more background operations are in active state.
-
Resume All – Click Resume All to resume all the paused operations from the point they were paused.
This option is disabled if no operations are paused.
- Stop All – Click Stop All to stop all the active operations.
While refreshing the LSA Client or the LSA GUI, if there is any delay such as the Replace progress bar not displaying the progress of the Replace operation or the Replace progress bar itself not getting displayed for small-size volumes, set the maximum event grouping time gap to 0
in the LSA.conf
file to see the real-time events. For more information on setting up LSA retrieve real-time events.
Note that setting real-time events has an impact on the performance of LSA.
