virtual drive data might be corrupted. Be sure to back up the data before running a consistency check if you suspect the data might be corrupted.

To run a consistency check using the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program, do the following:

1.Start the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program. See “Starting the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program” on page 74.

2.On the main interface of the program, select Check Consistency and follow the instructions on the screen.

The consistency check rate is the rate at which consistency check operations are run on a system. The consistency check rate can be configured between 0 percent and 100 percent. At 0 percent, the consistency check is done only if the system is not doing anything else. At 100 percent, the consistency check has a higher priority than any other system activity.

To configure the consistency check rate using the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program, do the following:

Note: Using a consistency check rate of 0 or 100 percent is not recommended. The default value is 30 percent.

1.Start the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program. See “Starting the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility program” on page 74.

2.On the main interface of the program, select Objects Adapter Chk Const Rate.

Note: Use up and down arrow keys to navigate between items and press Enter to select an option.
