A Task Menu Option Is Not Displayed
You may notice that the task menus do not always display the same task options. Some tasks are only
valid for certain types of objects or at certain times. For example, a Check Consistency task can only be
performed on a redundant virtual disk. Similarly, if a disk is already offline, the Offline task option is not
displayed.
There may be other reasons why a task cannot be run at a certain time. For example, there may already
be a task running on the object that must complete before additional tasks can be run.
A Corrupt Disk Or Drive Message Suggests Running Autocheck During A
Reboot
You can ignore the message and perform autocheck. The reboot completes after autocheck is
completed. Depending on the size of your system, it may take about 10 minutes.
