Media Patrol
Media Patrol is a routine maintenance procedure that checks the
magnetic media on each physical drive. Media Patrol checks all physical
drives assigned to disk arrays and spare drives. Media Patrol does not
check un-configured drives.
Media Patrol checks are enabled by default on all disk arrays and spare
drives. You can disable Media Patrol in the disk array and spare drive
settings, however that action is not recommended.
Unlike Synchronization and Redundancy Check, Media Patrol is
concerned with the condition of 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.
Media Patrol has three status conditions:
Running – Normal. You can access your logical drives at any time.
