Fast Initialization quickly formats the virtual disk by writing zeros to the first few sectors of the physical disks in the virtual disk. Depending on the number and size of the physical disks in the virtual disk, regular initialization takes longer. 4. Click Start to begin the initialization. If needed, you can monitor the progress of the initialization. See "Monitoring Rebuilds and Other Processes" on page 137 for more information. Running a Consistency Check You should periodically run a consistency check on fault-tolerant virtual disks. A consistency check scans the virtual disk to determine whether consistency data is corrupted and needs to be restored. It is especially important to do this if you suspect that the virtual disk consistency data is corrupted. To run a consistency check, follow these steps: 1. Select Manage -> Check Consistency. The Group Consistency Check window is displayed, as shown in Figure 90. Figure 90. Group Consistency Check Window 2. Select the virtual disks you want to check, or click Select All to select all disks. 3. Click Start to begin. You can monitor the progress of the consistency check. For more information, see "Monitoring Rebuilds and Other Processes" on page 137. Note: You can also run a consistency check by selecting the virtual disk icon in the left panel and rightclick the option Start Consistency Check. Intel® RAID Software User's Guide 139
