Running Consistency Checks

The Consistency Check operation verifies the correctness of the data in logical drives that use RAID levels 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, configurations. For example, in a system with parity, checking consistency means calculating the data on one drive and comparing the results to the contents of the parity drive. You should periodically run a consistency check on fault-tolerant logical drives.

Because RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy, you cannot run a consistency check on RAID 0 volumes.

To run a consistency check, you must first set the Consistency Check properties, then you can either schedule a consistency check to run at a defined interval chosen by you or you can start the Consistency Check operation immediately.
