Checking Data Consistency; Viewing And Changing Device Properties - Intel AFCSASRISER User Manual

Checking Data Consistency

The Check Consistency feature can be used on RAID 1 or RAID 10 drives to verify the data
consistency between the mirrored drives. It can be set to only report or to both report and
automatically fix the data.
If the Report and Fix/Report options are not shown, select Main Menu | Objects | Adapter |
ChkCons and set Report only or Fix\Report.

Viewing and Changing Device Properties

You can view adapter, virtual drive, and physical drive properties. You can also change some
adapter properties and the Write Cache and Read Ahead for Virtual Drives.
A drive can be forced offline so that a hot-spare drive will replace it. Power failures may cause
a drive to go offline and you must force it back online.
