Setting the Remaining Rated Write Endurance Threshold
About this task
The
Set Remaining Rated Write Endurance Threshold is supported on PCIe and SAS/SATA SSDs. The
Set Remaining Rated Write Endurance Threshold option provides added feature functionality in managing the threshold level for only PCIe SSDs, or SAS/SATA SSDs, or both based on your system configuration.
To set the Remaining Rated Write Endurance Threshold:
Steps
In the
Server Administrator window, under the
System tree, select the
Storage tree object.
The storage
Properties window is displayed.
Click the
Information/Configuration subtab to display more information.
Under
Global Tasks, select
Set Remaining Rated Write Endurance Threshold from the drop-down menu.
NOTE: You can also click the
Set Remaining Rated Writer Endurance Threshold link available on the
Storage Dashboard to access this operation.
Click
Execute.
The
Set Threshold for Remaining Rated Write Endurance window is displayed with the following options:
Set Threshold for PCIe SSD (1–100) — Displays the default threshold value for all PCIe SSDs
Set Threshold for SAS/SATA SSD (1–100) — Displays the default threshold value for all SAS/SATA SSDs
Type the threshold values for one or both the available options and click
Apply Changes.
NOTE:If you click
Apply Changes without entering a new threshold value for either of the available options an error message is displayed. Enter a new threshold value and then click
Apply Changes to successfully complete the task.
After you click
Apply Changes, Storage Management updates the system with the new threshold values.
After the task is completed, you will be redirected to the
Information/Configuration window.
NOTE: RRWE Threshold can be set for both PCIe and SAS or SATA SSD from PERC 9 or later family of PERC hardware controllers, SWRAID S140 or later, and all supported BOSS controllers. On PERC 9 and PERC 10 controllers, the RRWE threshold for PCIe devices is not applicable, but the values can be altered from Storage Administrator. From PERC 11 or later family of PERC hardware controllers, the RRWE threshold for both PCIe and SAS or SATA drives is applicable.
NOTE: The newly entered threshold values are retained even after you upgrade Server Administrator.
NOTE: When the Remaining Rated Write Endurance Threshold drops below the configured threshold, an Alert is logged and the SNMP trap is received for the same. For more information about SNMP traps, see the
