How do I schedule consistency checks with Storage Manager?
I've used the amcli.exe in the past to schedule consistency checks, but according to Dell they recommend no longer using the array manager, but instead the OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management (See: http://ftp.us.dell.com/sysman/am37.txt).
That's fine, but I can't figure out how to schedule a consistency check with this tool. I've found where I can manually run a consistency check, but would really like to schedule them instead. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you ever find an answer for this? People keep posting the old way to do it and that does not help as they tell you not to run both on a system?

omconfig storage vdisk action=checkconsistency controller=1 vdisk=0
(this is on linux, BTW).
I'm not sure exactly how you find the controller and vdisk indexes to use, but it seems like some logic and or guessing may get you there.

If you using the newest version 5.1 of Open Manage with Storage Management, the Open Manage logs will tell you when it begins, completes and if the consistency check fails.
You can manually run a consistency check in Storage Management using these instructions
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/OMSS10UG/vdmgmt.html#323112
or if you save the CLI commands below to a batch file than use Windows Task Scheduler they can be run during off peak hours, which is more beneficial.
Instructions on how to run the CLI Commands using Task Scheduler
Go to a command line and run the following command to display the virtual disks and controllers. You do this because in the batch file you will have to specify the controller and virtual disk you would like to scan.
omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs
omreport storage vdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the virtual disks attached to the controller.
Once you have the information above you will next open notepad and save the file to the root of C as cons_check.bat or a similar name. You will need to create one for each virtual disk you would like to check.
Inside the file you will add the necessary commands to check the consistency on the selected virtual disk and controller.
Example Syntax
For example, to run a check consistency on virtual disk 4 on controller 1, you would enter the text below into the cons_check.bat file and save it.
omconfig storage vdisk action=checkconsistency controller=1 vdisk=4
Once that is complete you will use the Windows Task Scheduler Wizard to run the batch file during off peak hours.
1. Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Add Scheduled Task.
The Scheduled Task Wizard appears.
2. Click next and follow the onscreen directions. Click Browse and locate the batch file you created above
NOTE: The minimum recommendation for this task is to be run at least once a month
Thank You,
