Verifying and Fixing a Logical Drive
While maxView Storage Manager verifies and fixes a logical drive, you can't complete any other tasks
on the controller. Because the verification can take a long time to complete, you may want to schedule
it as a task to be completed overnight or on a weekend.
Note: You can also choose to verify the logical drive without fixing inconsistent or
bad data.
To verify and fix a logical drive:
1. Ensure that no activity is taking place on the controller for the logical drive.
2. In the Enterprise View, select the logical drive.
3. On the ribbon, in the Logical Disk group, click Verify.
The Verify LD window opens.
4. To repair inconsistent or bad data during verification, click Verify with fix. To verify the logical drive
without fixing bad data, leave the checkbox blank.
5. To verify the logical drive now (immediately), click Verify.
To verify the logical drive later, click Schedule, then set the time and date to perform the verification.
You can also set up the verification as a recurring task. (For more information, see
Working with
Scheduled Tasks
on page 71.)
Caution: Do not power off the system while the verification is in progress. If you
do, the verification will stop.
When the verification is complete, an event notice is generated in the local system's event log, at
which time you can continue working with the controller.
Enabling/Disabling Background Consistency Check
If your controller supports background consistency check, maxView Storage Manager continually and
automatically checks your logical drives for bad or inconsistent data once they're in use. (To see if your
controller supports background consistency check, select the controller in the Enterprise View then, on
the Storage Dashboard, click Properties.)
To enable or disable background consistency check:
1. In the Enterprise View, select a controller.
2. On the ribbon, in the Controller group, click Set Properties.
