Checking Logical Drive Consistency
The Consistency Check function checks the consistency between the data in the data area of a Logical Drive and the
parity. The Universal RAID Utility can start or stop Consistency Check and change the priority in which Consistency
Check is executed.
The Consistency Check is effective next to Patrol Read to find failures including Physical Device medium error early.
Execute Consistency Check periodically if the RAID Controller does not support Patrol Read. If the Universal RAID Utility
is installed, routine execution of the Consistency Check is set for RAID Controllers not supporting Patrol Read.
Starting or stopping the Consistency Check is enabled both in the Standard Mode and
Advanced Mode. The function of changing the priority at which the Consistency Check is
executed is available only in the Advanced Mode.
Executing Consistency Check Manually
Consistency Check is executed in Logical Drives. The procedure of starting Consistency Check is described below.
The Consistency Check can be executed only for Logical Drives with [Status] being [Online].
The Consistency Check cannot be executed for Logical Drives with RAID Level being RAID 0.
RAID Viewer
Use [Consistency Check] in [Control] menu.
Step 1
Start the RAID Viewer. Click a Logical Drive on the Tree View. Then
click [Consistency Check] on the pull-down menu of menu item [Control].
Step 2 After Consistency Check is started, the
progress of the Consistency Check appears on the
Operation View. At the completion of the Consistency
Check, [Status] on the Operation View is changed to
[Completed].
raidcmd
Use "cc" command.
Step 1 Execute "cc" command with -op option
and the following parameters.
-c : Number of the RAID Controller containing the Logical
Drive for which Consistency Check is executed (If specify
"all" as parameter, the targets are all Logical Drives of all
RAID Controllers)
-l : Number of the Logical Drive for which Consistency
Check is executed (If specify "all" as parameter, the targets are all Logical Drives of RAID Controllers specified by -c)
-op : Specify "start" to start Consistency Check
Step 2 After the Consistency Check is started, the raidcmd terminates normally. Check the execution status of the
Consistency Check by using "
oplist" command.
> raidcmd cc -c=1 -l=2 -op=start
>
> raidcmd oplist
RAID Controller #1
LD #2 : Consistency Check (Running 30%)
