Consistency Checks
Consistency Check (CC) is a background operation that verifies and corrects
the mirror or parity data for fault tolerant virtual disks. It is recommended
that you periodically run a consistency check on virtual disks.
You can manually start a CC using the BIOS Configuration Utility or the
Dell OpenManage storage management application. You can schedule CC to
run on virtual disks using a Dell OpenManage storage management
application. To start a CC using the BIOS Configuration Utility, see
"Checking Data Consistency" on page 62.
Disk Roaming
Disk roaming is moving the physical disks from one cable connection or
backplane slot to another on the same controller. The controller
automatically recognizes the relocated physical disks and logically places
them in the virtual disks that are part of the disk group. You can perform disk
roaming only when the system is turned off.
CAUTION: Do not attempt disk roaming during RAID level migration (RLM) or
online capacity expansion (OCE). This causes loss of the virtual disk.
Perform the following steps to use disk roaming:
1
Turn off the power to the system, physical disks, enclosures, and system
components. Disconnect power cords from the system.
2
Move the physical disks to desired positions on the backplane or
the enclosure.
3
Perform a safety check. Make sure the physical disks are inserted properly.
4
Turn on the system.
The controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration
data on the physical disks.
