The
Scan Array
option performs a continuous read operation of an array in the background, accessing every
block of the array from beginning to end. The array scan takes place only when the array is idle (that is, when
there is no input to or output from the array).
To enable or disable background array scan:
1.
Click the array on which to run the background consistency check.
2.
From the
Array
menu, select
Scan Array
and then select
Start
.
Alternatively, right-click the array and select the
Scan Array - Start
option.
If background array scanning is already enabled and you wish to disable it, select
Stop
or, if the right-click
method is used,
Scan Array - Stop
.
Note:
You can schedule only one
Check Consistency
event on an array. This means that if you
have already scheduled a monthly check and you want to schedule a weekly check, you have to
delete the monthly event, and then schedule the new event.
Note:
The
Scan Array
option can also be enabled for an array when it is created or copied.
