I recently learned that Dell recommends that we run periodically (e.g. monthly) consistency checks on all RAID volumes.
I have implemented these checks via cron on Linux and scheduled tasks on Windows. Here's an example completion message on Linux (CentOS 6) (from /var/log/messages): 2016-09-08T10:27:46+00:00 wfep1 Server_Administrator: 13396 2085 - Storage Service Virtual disk Check Consistency completed: Virtual Disk 1 (fepdata) Controller 0 (PERC H710 Mini) I get a lot of these messages. What I'd like to do is filter out all the good messages and only see the messages when the check fails. Unfortunately I have no idea what this failure message might look like. The above doesn't even say it completed with no errors or anything! On Windows these errors appear to be more explicit -- or rather, there are different Event IDs for the different results. Reference: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/177/p/19463854/2017254 7 Reproduced here: * Event ID: 2085 * Text for email: Consistency check completed with no errors * Event ID: 2076 * Text for email: Consistency check failed to complete * Event ID: 2341 * Text for email: Consistency check completed with corrections * Event ID: 2397 * Text for email: Consistency check completed, but encountered uncorrectable errors So, what do those exit states look like on Linux? I suppose I have one equivalent to Event ID 2085 already. What about the others?
