Running a Consistency Check

You should periodically run a consistency check on fault-tolerant virtual drives. A consistency check scans the virtual drive to determine whether the data has become corrupted and needs to be restored. It is especially important to do this if you suspect that the data on the virtual drive might be corrupted.

To run a consistency check, follow these steps:

  1. Select Group Operations >> Check Consistency
  2. The Group Consistency Check window appears.
  3. Select the virtual drives that you want to check, or click Select All to select all disks.
  4. Click Start to begin.
  5. You can monitor the progress of the consistency check, if you want. See Monitoring Rebuilds and Other Processes for more information.

    You can also run a consistency check by selecting the virtual drive icon in the left panel and selecting the option on the Operation tab in the right panel. You can select the “Automatically fix errors” check box if you want.
