After connecting 8 hard drives to RAID5 and doing Fast initialization my ESXi shows 8 warnings that say “Parity check in progress”.
In old vmware forums I found that maybe RAID is still building, but why then am I allowed to use the datastore?
any ideas what this warning means and how to get rid of it?
thanks
That’s correct, the raid is still building. It might take a couple of hours, depending on:
If your raid controller doesn’t have write back enabled (or doesn’t support it), that time will be quite longer.
