1. After installing this firmware and rebooting, a consistency check will automatically begin on
RAID 5 and 50 virtual disks with 5 or more physical disks to ensure parity information is
correct. The consistency check cannot be terminated and will resume at its last point
following a reboot. This consistency check will appear as a Background Initialization but
will only perform a consistency check with no data being modified. The consistency check runs
in the background, allowing the virtual disks to remain accessible during the check. While
this background check is designed to minimize performance impact, some degradation in
performance may occur until the check is complete, especially under heavy I/O.
