2.9.5 Regenerating Logical Drive Parity
If no verifying method is applied to data writes, this function can be
manually performed to ensure that parity errors can be mended.
From the Main Menu, press the up or
down arrow keys to select "View and
Edit Logical Drives."
If you have more than one logical drive,
use the up or down arrow keys to select
the logical drive you would like to check
the parity for, and then press ENT.
Press the up or down arrow keys to
select "Regenerate Parity" and then press
ENT.
To stop the regeneration process, press
ESC and enter the submenu to select
“Abort Regenerate Parity”.
IMPORTANT!
If the Parity Regenerating process is stopped by a drive failure, the
process cannot restart until the logical drive is rebuilt.
2.9.6 Media Scan
Media Scan is used to examine drives and detect the presence of bad
blocks. If any data blocks have not been properly committed, data
from those blocks are automatically recalculated, retrieved,
rewritten or stored onto undamaged sectors. If bad blocks are
encountered on yet another drive during the rebuild process, the
block LBA (Logical Block Address) of those bad blocks will be listed.
If rebuild is carried out in this situation, rebuild will continue with
the unaffected sectors, salvaging a majority of the stored data.
From the Main Menu, press the up or
down arrow keys to select "View and
Edit Logical Drives".
The first logical drive displays. If you
have more than one logical drive, use the
up or down keys to select the logical
drive you want to scan, and then press
ENT.
Press the up or down arrow keys to
select "Media Scan" and then press ENT.
