3.6.1Inserting a Previously Removed Drive from a RAID 1 Array

If you have auto-rebuild selected in the BIOS, the rebuild begins as soon as you enter the BIOS CU. If auto-rebuild is disabled, you can choose whether to rebuild. If you decide to rebuild the drive, follow the procedure in Section 3.6, “Rebuilding Failed Disks,” page 3-10.

3.7Checking Data Consistency

The Check Consistency feature verifies the correctness of the redundancy data in the selected logical drive and causes the CU to automatically correct any differences found in the data.

This feature can be used only on a RAID 1 logical drive, to verify the data consistency between the mirrored physical drives. When a data inconsistency is found, the CU can either only report the inconsistency or report and fix the inconsistency, depending upon the option selected in Adapter settings.

In the CU, perform the following steps to check consistency:

Step 1. On the Management Menu select Check Consistency and press <Enter>.

The configured logical drives display.

Step 2. Use the space bar to select a logical drive to check for consistency.
