The Current Value column displays the existing values for each property. You can modify this value by selecting the optionfrom the Action drop-down menu for each property.For information about the fields, see the iDRAC Online Help.4. From the Apply Operation Mode drop-down menu, select when you want to apply the settings.5. Click Apply.Based on the selected operation mode, the settings are applied.Configuring controller properties using RACADM• To set Patrol Read Mode:racadm set storage.controller..PatrolReadMode {Automatic | Manual | Disabled}• If Patrol read mode is set to manual, use the following commands to start and stop Patrol read Mode:racadm storage patrolread: FQDD> -state {start|stop}NOTE: Patrol read mode operations such as Start and Stop are not supported if there are no virtual disks available inthe controller. Though you can invoke the operations successfully using the iDRAC interfaces, the operations will failwhen the associated job is started.• To specify the Check Consistency Mode, use Storage.Controller.CheckConsistencyMode object.• To enable or disable the Copyback Mode, use Storage.Controller.CopybackMode object.• To enable or disable the Load Balance Mode, use Storage.Controller.PossibleloadBalancedMode object.• To specify the percentage of the system's resources dedicated to perform a check consistency on a redundant virtual disk, useStorage.Controller.CheckConsistencyRate object.• To specify the percentage of the controller's resources dedicated to rebuild a failed disk, use Storage.Controller.RebuildRateobject• To specify the percentage of the controller's resources dedicated to perform the background initialization (BGI) of a virtual diskafter it is created, useStorage.Controller.BackgroundInitializationRate object• To specify the percentage of the controller's resources dedicated to reconstruct a disk group after adding a physical disk orchanging the RAID level of a virtual disk residing on the disk group, use Storage.Controller.ReconstructRate object• To enable or disable the enhanced auto import of foreign configuration for the controller, useStorage.Controller.EnhancedAutoImportForeignConfig object• To create, modify, or delete security key to encrypt virtual drives:racadm storage createsecuritykey: -key -passwd racadm storage modifysecuritykey: -key -oldpasswd passphrase> -newpasswd passphrase>racadm storage deletesecuritykey: FQDD>Importing or auto importing foreign configurationA foreign configuration is data residing on physical disks that have been moved from one controller to another. Virtual disks residingon physical disks that have been moved are considered to be a foreign configuration.You can import foreign configurations so that virtual disks are not lost after moving Physical Disks. A foreign configuration can beimported only if it contains a virtual disk that is in either Ready or Degraded state or a hotspare that is dedicated to a virtual diskwhich can be imported or is already present.All of the virtual disk data must be present, but if the virtual disk is using a redundant RAID level, the additional redundant data is notrequired.For example, if the foreign configuration contains only one side of a mirror in a RAID 1 virtual disk, then the virtual disk is in aDegraded state and can be imported. If the foreign configuration contains only one physical disk that was originally configured as aRAID 5 using three physical disks, then the RAID 5 virtual disk is in a Failed state and cannot be imported.In addition to virtual disks, a foreign configuration may consist of a physical disk that was assigned as a hot spare on one controllerand then moved to another controller. The Import Foreign Configuration task imports the new physical disk as a hot spare. If the206
