Configuration: Disk Groups and Virtual Disks

• 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.

• Redundancy mismatches error—The first 10 redundancy mismatches that

are found on the virtual disk are reported to the event log.

• Unfixable error—Data could not be read and parity or redundancy

information could not be used to regenerate the data. For example,

redundancy information cannot be used to reconstruct the data on a

degraded virtual disk. The error is reported to the event log.

For more information, see the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager

online help topics.

each block. A consistency check compares data blocks on RAID level 1

mirrored physical disks. RAID level 0 virtual disks have no data consistency.
