Performing a media check on a RAID-1 array

A media check compares the data of the mirrored hard drives in an array to determine if there are any errors. If an error is detected during a media check, the data will be restored on the secondary internal hard disk based on the data on the primary internal hard disk.

A media check can only be performed on a mirrored array which is in an optimal state. Refer to “Viewing the status of an array” on page 270 for more information.

If the computer is performing a media check and the computer is restarted, the media check will resume when the computer is restarted.

NOTE

By default the TOSHIBA RAID Utility is set up to perform a

 

media check on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 12:00

 

noon.

1Plug in the AC adapter and power on the computer. (The computer must be running on power provided by the AC adapter to perform these steps.)

2Start the TOSHIBA RAID Console utility by clicking Start, All Programs. Then select TOSHIBA, RAID, RAID Console.
