ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream SC Installation and Operation Manual

3.0 Ensure Drive Integrity

The ATTO FastStream initialize and verify drive feature discovers and re-maps bad sectors on drives providing

reliable media for your RAID groups.

Before creating any RAID group you should initialize

and verify the drives selected to be in the RAID group

to ensure drive integrity. When selected, the

FastStream writes a pattern to the entire drive,

verifying the drive’s readiness and reliability.

CAUTIONCAUTION

Selecting Drive Initialization causes all

previous storage data on the drive to be

erased. Make sure all of your information is

backed up before initializing drives.

During initialization and verification, the FastStream

collects performance measurements. Performance

data is available once initialization begins. You may

view it from the

Drive Performance and Health

page accessible from the

Diagnostics

menu. This

performance data is lost when the appliance is

powered off.

If you do not want to initialize or verify drives now,

continue on to

Configure Storage into RAID Groups

on page 13.

You may check drive integrity after you have created

RAID groups on drives in RAID groups or drives which

you wish to add to your FastStream configuring using

the initialize and verify procedure or using a read-only

scan of drives.

The read-only drive test performs a non-destructive

scan over the entire surface of each drive to identify

bad areas of disk drives and determine read

performance. It may be run while data is passing

through the FastStream.

Running this test may negatively impact performance.

Once the read-only test has completed, system

operation returns to normal.
