Enabling or Disabling Auto Verify for a Unit
Auto Verify can help insure that a unit is verified on a regular basis. This is important, as it can provide early warning of unstable units and possible data loss due to a failing drive.
Auto Verify is set on a per-unit basis, and works in conjunction with the Verify Schedule, which is set on a controller-wide basis. By default, the Verify Schedule is set to “Basic,” which specifies a weekly day and time for verification to occur when Auto Verify is enabled.
The steps below describe how to enable or disable Auto Verify for an existing unit. For more detailed information, see Using Auto Verification. For how to view or change the Verify Schedule, see Selecting Advanced or Basic Verify Schedules.

| Note: If Auto Verify is disabled for a unit, then verification will only run if you start it manually or in the event of an unclean shutdown. You can start a verify manually at any time. See Starting a Verify Manually.
