Verifying Disk Integrity
Hi,
I'm new to using RAID...
I've just inherited the following system:
6 Dell 4600's with 2 Mirrored Disks configured for the System partitions and 3 RAID 5 Disks used as data disks for an MS SQL 2000 database application.
All running Windows Server SP 3
Before I ended up with managing this system someone used the trial version of 3rd party Disk Partitioning Tool to increase the size of the partition that was storing the SQL transaction log.
Does anyone know what Dell Openmanage tools I can use to verify that the Disks haven't been adversley affected by this persons actions. All the dell diagnostics I have found so far seem to be for checking the SCSI controllers / configuration, and not for checking the disks
Thanks
