When DPM pauses a consistency check

  • Article

When a replica is inconsistent, DPM will perform a consistency check during the hours that you allot. You could configure consistency checks to begin at 2:00 A.M., for example, with a duration of four hours.

So what happens when 6:00 A.M. rolls around and the consistency check isn't finished yet? DPM stops the consistency check. Next day at 2:00 A.M., DPM picks up the job where it left off.

This is explained in the Operations Guide ("Scheduling Consistency Checks") but there is an error in the following note:

A paused consistency check will be displayed as “Canceled” in the Monitoring task area.

It should read:

A paused consistency check will be displayed as “Failed Canceled” in the Monitoring task area.
