Viewing Check Consistency Report
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The check consistency report provides information on all the consistency checks performed on the controller in a chronological order. It
provides information such as last run time and result. If the consistency check fails, it provides the reason for the failure.
To Locate View Check Consistency Report In Storage Management
1. In the Server Administrator window, under the system tree, click Storage.
2. Select View Check Consistency Report from the Select Report drop-down menu.
3. Click Execute.
Setting The Redundant Path Configuration
Does my Controller Support This Feature? See Supported Features.
Redundant path is supported only on external PERC cards that use firmware version 6.1 and later. A redundant path internal to the system
is not supported. MD1xxx enclosures are supported.
For redundant paths, the enclosure must be in the Unified mode however specific port connections are not required. A connection from
either controller ports to either EMM In ports creates the redundant path as long as two cables are used. But, Redundant Path continues
to appear in the field even as the redundant path is removed. The redundant path ceases to appear only when it is cleared in the storage
management.
In a daisy-chain scenario, more than one enclosure can be connected to a controller in a redundant path mode. You can connect up to four
MD1400 and MD1420 to a PERC H840 controller and SAS 12 Gbps adapter in a daisy-chain enclosure. For an example of a daisy-chain
configuration (for PERC 6/E controller), see the following image:
If the communication channel between the connector and the first enclosure is lost, the redundant path configuration is lost. In this case,
the health of the logical connector is displayed as critical. Navigate to the Information/Configuration page of the logical connector to
view details of the Path Health. For a brief outline of this scenario, see the following table:
