Running a Patrol Read Operation
The Patrol Read option lets you periodically verify all sectors of the drives connected to a controller, including the system reserved area in the RAID configured drives. You can run a Patrol Read operation for all RAID levels and for all spare drives. A Patrol Read operation is initiated only when the controller is idle for a defined period and has no other background activities. You can set the Patrol Read properties and start the Patrol Read operation, or you can start the Patrol Read operation without changing the properties.
