Checking Parity

Parity checking is the process where the integrity of redundant data on fault-tolerant logical drives or LUNs (RAID 3 and 5) is checked.

  1. Select the logical drive on which you want to run the parity check.

  2. Select Array Administration > Parity Check.

    NOTE: You need to be logged in as either ssadmin or ssconfig to access options on this menu.

  3. When the Logical Drive Parity Check window is displayed, select one or more logical drives for parity checking.
  4. To run a parity check on multiple drives, use the Array Administration > Schedule Parity Check command to schedule a parity check for multiple logical drives in the near future (such as within three minutes). When the scheduled parity check runs, it automatically performs the parity checks one after another.

  5. Click the Parity Check button to start the parity check process.
  6. Once a parity check has started, the Progress Indicator is automatically displayed. If this window is closed, it can be reopened by selecting View > Array Admin Progress, or by clicking the Progress Indicator icon. A window is displayed that shows the percentage of completion progress for each array.
