210 Virtual Disks
Recommendations
Storage Management provides the ability to clear the bad block warnings. To
clear bad blocks, the following procedure is recommended:
1
Perform a backup of the virtual disk with the Verify option selected.
One of the two following scenarios can occur:
– Backup operation fails on one or more files. In this case, restore the file
from a previous backup. After restoring the file, proceed to step 2.
– Backup operation completes without error. This indicates that there
are no bad blocks on the written portion of your virtual disk.
If you still receive bad block warnings, the bad blocks are in a non-data
area. Proceed to Step 2.
2 Run Patrol Read and check the system event log to ensure that no new bad
blocks are found.
If bad blocks still exist, proceed to step 3. If not, the condition is cleared
without the need for step 3.
3 To clear these bad blocks, execute the Clear Virtual Disk Bad Blocks task.
