WebPAM User Manual Physical Drive Media Patrol The Physical Drive-Media Patrol tab allows you to start Media Patrol on an individual physical drive. You can also run Media Patrol on all physical drives at the same time, see page 55. Media Patrol is a routine maintenance procedure that checks the magnetic media on each disk drive, sector by sector. Media Patrol checks physical drives assigned to logical drives, spare drives and currently unassigned physical drives that were once part of a logical drive or a spare. Media Patrol does not check new physical drives that have never been configured nor physical drives assigned as JBOD. Unlike Synchronization and Redundancy Check, Media Patrol is concerned with the condition of the media itself, not the data recorded on the media. If Media Patrol encounters a suspect sector, it will attempt to regenerate the data and write to the suspect sector. If the write operation is successful, Media Patrol continues checking other sectors. If the write operation fails, Media Patrol reports the error to your PC's system log and to the physical drive's Bad Sector Log (see page 59). This action triggers a BSL update message and an email message if you enabled that notification option (see page 38). To start Media Patrol immediately: 1. Click on the Physical Drive View icon in Tree View. 2. Click on the Physical Drive icon. 3. Click on the Media Patrol tab in Management View. 4. Click the Start Now button. To schedule Media Patrol to run at a later time: 1. Click on the Physical Drive View icon in Tree View. 2. Click on the Physical Drive icon. 58
