Checking Data Consistency

The Check Consistency feature can be used on RAID 1, RAID 5, or
RAID 10 logical drives to verify the consistency of the data on the
physical drives. The MegaRAID BIOS CU automatically corrects any
differences found in the data when a consistency 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.
