Data Consistency

The data consistency test verifies the integrity of the RAID parity data, not the integrity of user-created data.

You might want to run the data consistency test after replacing a drive in a Drive Enclosure. Also, Oracle Customer Support might request that you run a data consistency test for diagnostic purposes.

Running the data consistency test impacts Oracle FS System performance. You have two options to choose from when performing this test:

Data consistency failures are typically isolated to the drive or drive group error handling. The Oracle FS System compensates for some of the errors that are encountered during the tests. However, if an error persists that cannot be fixed, the system displays Fail on the Data Consistency overview page. In this case, collect the Oracle FS System data logs and contact Oracle Customer Support.
