Running a Consistency Check

You should periodically run a consistency check on fault-tolerant virtual
disks. It is especially important to do this if you suspect that the virtual
disk consistency data may be corrupted. Be sure to back up the data
before running a consistency check, if you think the consistency data
may be corrupted.

To run a consistency check, follow these steps:

1.

Select Group Operations->Check Consistency.

The Group Consistency Check window appears.

2.

Select the virtual disks that you want to check, or click Select All to
select all virtual disks.

3.

Click Start to begin.

You can monitor the progress of the consistency check. See

Section 8.5, “Monitoring Rebuilds and Other Processes”

for more

You can also run a consistency check by selecting the
virtual disk icon in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage
Manager window and selecting the option on the Operation
tab in the right panel.
