Verifying consistency on the drives

This optional consistency check on the logical drive of the RAID system
ensures that the data on the drives is identical. If any errors are found,
they are corrected automatically. Nortel strongly recommends that you do
a consistency check before you split the RAID system pack. If possible,
perform the consistency check the day before the scheduled maintenance.
A good data backup on an offline drive is important if you need to revert to
the CallPilot system from an unsuccessful upgrade or update.
