Verifying Drives
If you are notified of a mismatch of data during a build of RAID 1
or RAID 10, you have an option of verifying your drives. To Verify
the drives:
Note: You will only have the Verify option available if the
array is Optimal. If the array has failed, you will need to
rebuild the array.
1 Select the drives you need to verify.
2 Press Ctrl+S.
3 When the Verify is complete, you will be notified with any
errors found during the Verify operation.
Using the Disk Utilities
The Disk Utilities enable you to format or verify the media of your
Serial ATA hard disks.
To access the disk utilities:
1 Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to
access the ARC utility.
2 From the ARC menu, select Disk Utilities.
3 Select the desired disk then press Enter.
You are offered the following options:
Format Disk—Simulates a low-level format of the hard
drive by writing zeros to the entire disk. Serial ATA drives
are low-level formatted at the factory and do not need to be
low-level formatted again.
!
Caution: Formatting destroys all data on the drive. Be
sure to back up your data before performing this
operation.
Verify Disk Media—Scans the media of a disk drive for
defects.
