Guys-
Couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to run some kind of a disk integrity check on the array? individual drives or VDs
2. Is there a limit on virtual disk size?
According to the Support Matrix:
Virtual disk size can exceed 2TB and is limited by the type of RAID group, number of drives in the RAID group and the size of the drives (Up to 45 disks can be used in RAID 0 and 44 disks in RAID 10. RAID 5 and RAID 6 are limited to a maximum of 30 disks)

For troubleshooting:
For information about troubleshooting MD3000 and MD3000i storage arrays,
refer to the “Troubleshooting Problems” chapter of the Dell™ PowerVault™
Modular Disk Storage Manager User’s Guide
