The priority of rebuild versus I/O operations is specified with 1..5, where 1 is 
more resources and 5 the least. Setting the value to 1 gives maximum 
processing time to rebuilds rather than I/O. Setting the value to 5 gives 
maximum processing time to I/O rather than rebuilds. 
Enabling and disabling rebuild schedules is only for 9000 models, however 
the rebuild rate (1..5) applies to all controllers. 
7000- and 8000-series controllers have only one setting for Task Rate; it 
applies to both rebuild and verify rates. This rate is not persistent following a 
reboot for 7000- and 8000-series controllers.
/c
x
 set verify=enable|disable|1..5
This command enables or disables all verify background task slots on 
controller /cx and (when enabled) sets the priority of verification versus I/O 
operations. When enabled, verify tasks will only be run during the time slots 
scheduled for verifies. If a verify is taking place when the schedule is enabled, 
it will be paused until the next scheduled time. 
The priority of verify versus I/O operations is specified with 1..5, where 1 is 
more resources and 5 the least. Setting this value to 1 implies fastest verify, 
and 5 implies fastest I/O. 
Enabling and disabling verify schedules is only for 9000 models, however the 
verify rate (1..5) applies to all controllers. 
                                      
/c

 set selftest=enable|disable
 
[task=UDMA|SMART]
This command enables or disables all selftest tasks or a particular 
selftest_task (UDMA or SMART). 
Enabling and disabling selftest is only for 9000 models. 7/8000 models have 
the same internal schedule, but it is not viewable or changeable.
Example:
 //localhost> /c0 selftest=enable task=UDMA
enables UDMA selftest on controller c0.
Note: 
When enabling the verify schedule you must also remember to enable the 
autoverify setting for the units to be verified. For more information see 
“/cx/ux set autoverify=on|off” on page 68.
