Running Media Patrol on Your Physical Drives

Media Patrol is a routine maintenance procedure that checks the magnetic media on
each disk drive. Media Patrol checks are enabled by default on all disk arrays and spare
drives. Media Patrol is concerned with the media itself, not the data recorded on the
media. If Media Patrol encounters a critical error, it triggers Predictive Data Migration
(PDM) if PDM is enabled on the disk array. See Making Disk Array Settings.
