CHEDULING A
A CHECK task can be scheduled for later in the day or week, or a CHECK task can be scheduled to run each
week or each month.
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.
The following scheduling options are available for consistency checking:
•
One Time Only. You have the option to schedule the consistency check for the current day (Today) or up
to seven days in the future.
•
Weekly. Events can be scheduled weekly to run on the specified array at a specified time and day each
week.
•
Monthly. Events can be scheduled to run once per month on the specified array at a specified time and
day each month.
To schedule a consistency check for later:
1. Click the array on which to run the consistency check.
2. From the Array menu, select Check Consistency, and then click Schedule.
3. Select the frequency, day, and time.
4. Click Confirm.
To delete a scheduled consistency check:
1. Click the array on which to delete the consistency check.
2. From the Array menu, select Check Consistency, and then click Schedule.
3. Click Remove.

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: The Scan Array option can also be enabled for an array when it is created or copied.
