Note:
Don’t power off the system while the verification is in progress. If you do, the verification
will stop.
While the verification is in progress, the logical drive is shown as an animated icon
(as shown at right) to indicate that the task is in progress.
When the verification is complete, an event notice is generated in the local system’s event
log (and broadcast to other systems, if you have event notification set up—see
Notifying
Users by Event Log Message About Status and Activity
on page 106
).
You can now continue working on the controller.
Verifying a Logical Drive (Without Fix)
Note:
To verify
and
fix
a logical drive, see
page 67
.
While Adaptec Storage Manager verifies a logical drive, you can’t complete any other tasks on
the controller associated with that logical drive. Because verification takes a long time to
complete, you may want to schedule it as a task to be completed overnight or on a weekend.
To verify a logical drive:
1
Ensure that no activity is taking place on the controller associated with the logical drive
you want to verify and fix.
2
In the Enterprise View, click the controller.
3
In the Logical Devices View, click the logical drive.
4
In the menu bar, select
Actions
, then click
Verify
.
5
To begin the verification immediately, click
Yes
.
To schedule the verification for later, click
Schedule
, set the date and time, then click
Apply
. You can also set the verification to recur. (For more information on scheduling
tasks, see
page 81
.)

Enabling/Disabling Background Consistency Check
If your controller supports background consistency check, Adaptec Storage Manager
continually and automatically checks your logical drives once they’re in use. (To see if your
controller supports background consistency check, right-click the controller in the Enterprise
View, then click
Properties
.)
To enable or disable background consistency check:
1
In the Enterprise View, click the controller.
