Verifying an Array

For a RAID 1 or RAID 10 array, the verify process compares the data of one mirror

pair with the other (single hard disk in the case of RAID1, and a paired set of disks for

RAID 10).

For RAID 5, the verify process calculates RAID5 parity and compares it to the parity

data on the array. Verification checks each sector on a given disk. Periodic verifica-

tion of an array allows the disk drive firmware to take corrective actions on problem

areas on the disk, minimizing the occurrence of uncorrectable read and write errors.

To verify an array:

1. Highlight the “Management” menu, and select the “Array Management” function.

2. Highlight the array you want to verify.

3. Click the Verify button on the toolbar or select the “Verify” command from the

“Operation” menu.

4. Verify process will start.
