Suspending media scan

You cannot perform a media scan while performing another long-running operation on the disk drive such as reconstruction, copy-back, reconfiguration, virtual disk initialization, or immediate availability formatting. If you want to perform another long-running operation, you should suspend the media scan.

NOTE: A background media scan is the lowest priority of the long-running operations.
To suspend a media scan:
  1. In the AMW, select the Storage & Copy Services tab and select any virtual disk.
  2. From the menu bar, select Storage > Virtual Disk > Change > Media Scan Settings.
    The Change Media Scan Settings window is displayed.
  3. Select Suspend media scan.
    NOTE: This applies to all the virtual disks on the disk group.
  4. Click OK.
