dptScsiHbaBackgroundTaskPriority

Module: DPT-SCSI-MIB

OID (symbolic): DPT-SCSI-MIB::dptScsiHbaBackgroundTaskPriority

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1597.1.2.1.1.17

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: This object controls the priority of array background tasks such as Build, Rebuild and Verify for this controller. The values range from 1 to 10. A value of 1 is the slowest but uses the least amount of the controller's bandwidth. While a value of 10 is the fastest but it uses the most bandwidth.

If operations take too long then increase the value for this object. If the system runs too slow when these tasks are active, then decrease the value for this object.

What is dptScsiHbaBackgroundTaskPriority?

Sets/reports the priority (1-10) given to background array tasks like Build, Rebuild, and Verify on this controller; higher values finish background work faster but consume more of the controller's bandwidth. Raise it if a rebuild is taking too long, or lower it if foreground I/O performance is suffering while a rebuild runs.
