EVA Max efficiency

[Kites BM]

Hi,

how do i set an alarm level to ensure that EVA is able to reconstruct disks with max efficiency?

also please explain about the reconstruction of disks?

The alarm level and the VRAID reconstruction are not related. The alarm level is just an information for the end-user.

The reconstruction first happens within an RSS (mentioned in your other thread). An RSS is between 6 and 11 disk drives. As a disk group on a large EVA can include way more than 100 disk drives, the reconstruct will be faster.
In the next step the data is redistributed across all disk drives in the group - that's called the "leveling" and is a low-priority background operation.
