■
Only Media Scan is selected: The media scan operation scans each drive
starting at the lowest port. If all the drives have been scanned and there is
time remaining, the operation begins scanning the lowest port again and
continues until the scheduled time completes.
■
Verify and Media Scan are selected: Both tasks run sequentially within the
scheduled window. If the scheduled duration is four hours, the verifica-
tion operation is run during the first two hours and the media scan opera-
tion follows during the remaining two hours. If the duration is only one
hour, only the verification operation is performed.
■
Rebuild/Initialize, Verify, and Media Scan are selected: If all three opera-
tions are selected and a rebuild/initialize operation is required, the
rebuild/initialize operation is performed first. If this operation completes
within the first two hours of the window, a verification operation starts. If
the rebuild/initialize operation completes in the last two hours of the win-
dow, the media scan operation starts.
