115 Intel® RAID Software User Guide
For example, in a system with parity, checking consistency means computing the data on
one drive and comparing the results with the contents of the parity drive. You must run a
consistency check if you suspect that the data on the virtual drive might be corrupted.
Caution: Make sur
e to back up the data before you run a consistency check, if you think the data
might be corrupted.
Perform the following steps to run a consiste
ncy check:
1. Navigate to a virtual drive in the VD Mgmt sc
reen, and press the F2 key.
2. Navigate to Consistency Check, and press Enter
.
3. Navigate to St
art, and press Enter.
The consistency check starts and checks the redundant data in
the virtual drive.
If you attempt to run a consistency check on a virtual drive that has not be
en
initialized, a confirmation dialog appears, asking for your confirmation.

creen (in the PD Mgmt menu), and press the
