Managing Configurations
This section includes information about maintaining and managing storage
configurations.
Running a Consistency Check
You should periodically run a consistency check on fault-tolerant virtual drives. A
consistency check verifies that the redundancy data is correct and available for
RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays. To do this, follow these steps:
1. On the main WebBIOS CU screen, select a virtual drive.
2. When the Virtual Drive screen appears, select
CC
in the lower left panel, and
click Go.
3. Click
Yes
to continue. The consistency check begins.
If the WebBIOS CU finds a difference between the data and the parity value on
the redundant drive group, it assumes that the data is accurate and automatically
corrects the parity value. Be sure to back up the data before running a consistency
check if you think the data may be corrupted.
Deleting a Virtual Drive
You can delete any virtual drive on the controller if you want to reuse that space for
a new virtual drive. The WebBIOS CU provides a list of configurable drive groups
where there is a space to configure. If multiple virtual drives are defined on a single
drive group, you can delete a virtual drive without deleting the whole drive group.
Back up any data that you want to keep before you delete the virtual drive.
To delete a virtual drive, follow these steps:
1. On the main WebBIOS CU screen, select a virtual drive.
2. When the Virtual Drive screen appears, select Delete in the bottom panel
under the heading Operations, and click Go.
3. When the message appears, confirm that you want to delete the virtual drive.
