Media Patrol
Media Patrol is a routine maintenance procedure that checks the magnetic media on each disk drive.
Media Patrol checks are enabled by default on all disk arrays and spare drives. Media Patrol is
concerned with the media itself, not the data recorded on the media. If Media Patrol encounters a
critical error, it triggers PDM if PDM is enabled on the disk array. See “Making Disk Array Settings” on
page 116 .
