change based on the hot plug operation.

3-6 Checking Data Consistency

The Check Consistency feature can be used on RAID 1 or RAID 10 logical drives
to verify the data consistency between the mirrored physical drives. The MegaRAID
BIOS CU automatically corrects any differences found in the data when a consis-
tency check is run. Follow these steps to check consistency:

1. On the Management Menu select Check Consistency and press Enter.

A list of configured logical drives is displayed.

2. Highlight a logical drive with the arrow keys.

3. Press the spacebar to select the logical drive to check for consistency.

Note: If you select a RAID 0 logical drive, a message appears stating that a
Check Consistency cannot be performed. To continue, deselect the logical drive,
highlight a redundant logical drive, and press the spacebar again.
