Background Taskswww.3ware.com 165For users who need more control over when Verify tasks run, an AdvancedVerify schedule is also available, which gives you the ability to define seventimes during the week when verifications can occur, and allows you to specifythe duration of each, effectively creating a series of "schedule windows". Thisis useful if you want to insure that background tasks such as verification occurduring times of low system usage. When you use the Advanced Verifyschedule, if a verify does not have time to complete during a scheduled timewindow, it will pause until the next scheduled time, to resume verifying.This distinction between Basic and Advanced Verify Scheduling is new in9.5.1. In previous versions, there was one type of Verify Scheduling, whichfunctioned as the "Advanced" version does in 9.5.1.For more details about how to set the Verify Scheduling option, see “SelectingAdvanced or Basic Verify Schedules” on page 176.Starting a Verify ManuallyVerification of units can be done automatically, on a schedule, or can bestarted manually, as described below. You can manually start a verify througheither 3DM or 3BM. (See “Enabling or Disabling Auto Verify for a Unit” onpage 120 and “Scheduling Background Tasks” on page 173.)Note: Unless you have a specific need for the Advanced Verify schedule, it isrecommended that you enable Auto Verify for units, and that you use Basic Verifyscheduling, in order to insure weekly verification of your units.If Auto Verify is disabled for a unit, then verification will only run if you start itmanually or in the event of an unclean shutdown.Note: If the unit has not previously been initialized and you manually select VerifyUnit in either 3BM or 3DM, the initialization process starts.
