Schedule disk check

A disk maintenance schedule is used to check the system storage drives for errors. Two values are supplied,
one to specify the number of system restarts that should occur before disk check, and the second to specify
the number of months before performing a disk check. The disk check happens based on whichever event
occurs first.

For example, the restart setting is set to 50 and the months setting is set to 6. If six months pass and less than
50 restarts happened, a disk check will occur on the next restart. However if you do 50 restarts in one month,
the disk check will happen after the fiftieth restart.

Disk check occurs during start up and can cause a lengthy delay in starting up the system.

To set the disk check schedule:

 1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See
