Maintaining The Integrity Of Redundant Virtual Disks
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The virtual disk 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.
To verify redundant information of a virtual disk:
1. Locate the controller on which the virtual disk resides in the tree view. Expand the controller object
until the Virtual Disks object is displayed.
2. Select the Check Consistency task from the virtual disk’s Tasks drop-down list box and click
Execute.
Rebuilding Redundant Information
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
If you have a redundant virtual disk, you can reconstruct the contents of a failed physical disk onto a new
disk or a hot spare. A rebuild can take place during normal operation, but it degrades performance.
