Verifying Logical Devices

To ensure that there are no data problems on your logical devices, it is important to verify them. When you verify a logical device, Adaptec Storage Manager checks it for inconsistent or bad data and then fixes any problems. You can also choose to verify a logical device without fixing it.

Logical devices with no redundancy (for instance, RAID 0 logical devices) do not need to be verified.

In Adaptec Storage Manager, logical device verification can occur in different ways, depending on your controller:

While Adaptec Storage Manager verifies and fixes a logical device, you can not complete any other tasks on the controller. Because the verification can take a long time to complete, you may want to schedule it to be completed overnight or on a weekend.
