Storage Array Media Scan
The media scan is a background operation that examines virtual disks to
verify that data is accessible. The process finds media errors before normal
read and write activity is disrupted and reports errors to the event log.
NOTE: You cannot enable background media scans on a virtual disk comprised of
Solid State Disks (SSDs).
Errors discovered by the media scan include:
• Unrecovered media error—Data could not be read on the first attempt or
on any subsequent attempts. For virtual disks with redundancy protection,
data is reconstructed, rewritten to the physical disk, and verified and the
error is reported to the event log. For virtual disks without redundancy
protection (RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6 virtual disks), the error is not
corrected but is reported to the event log.
• Recovered media error—Data could not be read by the physical disk on the
first attempt but was successfully read on a subsequent attempt. Data is
rewritten to the physical disk and verified and the error is reported to the
event log.
