Background Initialization On PERC Controllers
Restoring Dead Segments
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Restore Dead Segments task recovers data from a RAID-5 virtual disk that has been corrupted. The Restore Dead
Segments task attempts to reconstruct data from the corrupt portion of a physical disk included in a RAID-5 virtual disk.
The Restore Dead Segments task uses the parity or redundant information to reconstruct the lost data. This task is not
always able to recover lost data.
Deleting Data On the Virtual Disk
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.

Performing A Check Consistency
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Check Consistency task verifies the accuracy of the redundant (parity) information. This task only applies to
redundant virtual disks. When necessary, the Check Consistency task rebuilds the redundant data. If the virtual disk is in
a Failed Redundancy state, running a check consistency may be able to return the virtual disk to a Ready state.

Canceling A Check Consistency
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Cancel Check Consistency task stops a check consistency operation while it is in progress.
Pausing A Check Consistency
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Pause Check Consistency task pauses a check consistency while it is in progress.
NOTE: The Pause Check Consistency task updates the virtual disk State property to Resynching Paused
immediately. The Progress property may continue to increment for up to three seconds. This time delay occurs
because the polling task may take up to three seconds to query the task information and update the display.

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Resume Check Consistency task resumes a check consistency after it has been paused.
Blinking And Unblinking A Virtual Disk
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Blink and Unblink tasks blink or unblink the lights on the physical disks included in the virtual disk.
