Run a Consistency Check on a PERC managed RAID without OMSA?

Cameron,

This will differ based on the specific raid controller installed. As seen below, the Perc 6/i or H700 series you would access the Raid controller BIOS (Ctrl-R), highlight the Virtual Disk in question, then hit F2 and select Consistency Check. Controllers such as the SASS 6/ir do not support Consistency Checks, even with OMSA installed.

Let me know if this answers your question

Thanks Chris,

I was hoping for a command to run the check from the OS while the system is up :)

Taking servers down every month to manually enter the RAID BIOS just to run a check is not very production environment friendly.

Preferably in CentOS 6,7 and Ubuntu 14.04

This is still applicable PERC - Automating Consistency Checks using Open Manage Server Administrator Command Line

See the OMSA 8.3 manual on page 169 Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 8.3 Command Line Interface Guide

Hi Chris,

So sorry I completely read over that part of the question.
