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 a PDM if
PDM is enabled on the disk array.
