Chapter 9 Switch Operating Procedures
Verifying PXM Disk Data
If you enter verifydiskdb check without any options, the verification utility verifies that the data on the
active hard disk matches the data on the standby hard disk. In the following example, the user runs the
verification utility for all cards in the node.
pop20two.7.PXM.a > verifydiskdb check
pop20two.7.PXM.a >
Enter verifydiskdb check with the -sl <slot number> option to run the verification utility only on the
specified slot.
In the following example, the user configures the verification utility to check for any discrepancies in
the control information on the card in slot 7. If any discrepancy is found, the verification utility will
run through the disk up to 3 times before it finishes.
pop20two.7.PXM.a > verifydiskdb check -l 1 -sl 7 -p 3
The disk verification task runs in the background until completion. It can take a few seconds or several
hours for the disk verification task to finish. The more connections configured on the switch, the longer
it takes the utility to complete disk verification. To view the progress of the disk verification task, enter
the verifydiskdb status command while the verification task is running.
