How to maintain or verify a disk array
The Maintain Disk Array (see Figure 14) shows the current disk
array configuration that you have selected. The array’s Write
Cache State can be changed. Refer to Select write cache proper-
ties paragraph in the Creating a disk array section. Verify Array
can be specified as no or yes. The default is no. Yes launches a fore-
ground process that checks the data integrity of a fault tolerant
array. If the verify array process determines that the mirrored drives
are not identical or the parity is not correct, the mirror is degraded
and the rebuild process is launched.
