Initiate Block Rectify
Once you have added Storage Managers to your network and configured them for storage, the Storage Manager
periodically checks the status of stored files, cleaning up deleted files and verifying existing files. This process,
called “rectifying files,” allows the Storage Managers to communicate with the System Director to monitor the state
of its storage and clean up any files that the Storage Managers no longer need to store. Rectifying files occurs
randomly and asynchronously during normal system operation to minimize any potential decrease in system
performance. The process is indicated for each affected Storage Manager in the Status column in the
Storage Manager list.
Storage Managers also rectify files when starting or restarting. When this happens, data stored on the
Storage Managers might not be in sync with the data in the file system itself. Also, if a client, such as the asset
manager, cannot communicate with the Storage Manager, there might appear to be more data allocated to the
Storage Managers than the file system has allocated. To correct this, you can manually send the Storage Manager a
command to rectify its files.
To rectify files:
1. Select one or more Storage Managers from the Storage Managers list.
You can use the Shift and Control keys to select multiple items. For more information, see
“Selecting Items” on
page 26
.
2. Click Issue Command.
The Issue Storage Manager(s) Command dialog box opens.
3. Select Initiate Block Rectify, and then click Send.
The system rectifies files on the selected Storage Managers and changes the status in the Storage Managers list
to Rectifying Files.
