Chapter 9: Managing Logical Drives and Hot Spares ● 81 Changing the Initialize Priority The Initialize Priority setting determines the priority for the initialization of the logical drive. The default setting is High, which means that the logical drive is initialized as quickly as possible. Verifying Logical Drives To ensure that there are no data problems on your logical drives, it is important to verify them. When you verify a logical drive, Adaptec Storage Manager checks it for inconsistent or bad data and then fixes any problems. (You can also choose to verify a logical drive without fixing it.) Logical drives with no redundancy (for instance, RAID 0 logical drives) do not need to be verified. In Adaptec Storage Manager, logical drive verification can occur in different ways, depending on your controller: ● Automatic verification-If your controller supports build initialization, Adaptec Storage Manager automatically verifies all new redundant logical drives. No manual verification is required. To see if your controller supports build initialization, right-click the controller in the Enterprise View and click Properties. ● Manual verification-If your controller doesn't support build initialization, a Warning-level event notice appears in the Event Viewer prompting you to verify a logical drive before you begin to use it. To verify a logical drive manually, see Verifying Logical Drives on page 81. ● Background verification-If your controller supports background consistency check, Adaptec Storage Manager continually and automatically checks your logical drives once they're in use. To see if your controller supports background consistency check, right-click the controller in the Enterprise View and click Properties. To enable or disable background consistency check, see page 84. Note: If your controller doesn't support background consistency check, Adaptec highly recommends that you verify your logical drives weekly, following the instructions in Verifying Logical Drives on page 81.
