When DPM pauses a consistency check
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.
The content online will be fixed as soon as we can get the corrected page live!
