3.3.2 Verifying an Array

The Verify function allows you to verify the data on redundant arrays (RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID 4, RAID 5,
RAID 10, and RAID 50):

• RAID 3, RAID 4, RAID 5, and RAID 50: Verifies all parity blocks in the selected array and corrects

any bad parity.

• RAID 1 and RAID 10: Compares the primary and secondary drives. If a mismatch occurs, the

primary is copied to the secondary.

You may want to verify an array when you suspect there is a problem.

To verify an array:

1

From SAM, select Manage Galaxy 65 Subsystem > Disk Array Config > Verify Array.
The Verify Array page displays with a list of existing arrays.

Select the array you want.

Click Verify & Update Array Parity.

Verification begins and the percentage of verification completed displays. You can continue to use the
array during verification.

To check the progress of the verification, select Manage Galaxy 65 Subsystem > Disk Array Config >
Array Utility Progress
