]
This command performs verify operations on the selected device.
The media argument verifies the data written on the device media.
This activity involves reading and performing an ECC check of the

If the device does not support the verify command, the following
error message appears:
scu>verify media starting 1000 length 1024

Invalid command operation code
When an error occurs, the sense key is examined. The expected sense
keys are Recovered Error (0x01) or Medium Error (0x03). When these
errors are detected, the following error message is displayed and
verification continues with the block following the failing block:
scu: Verify error at logical block number 464392 (0x71608).
scu: Sense Key = 0x1 = RECOVERED ERROR -
Recovery action performed,
Sense Code/Qualifier = (0x17, 0) = Recovered data with no
error correction applied
If any other sense key error occurs, the full sense data is displayed
and the verification process is aborted.
