verify vdisk

versions

Description Verifies whether vdisk redundancy data is consistent with its user data. For RAID 3, 5, 6, and 50,

verify checks all parity blocks to find data-parity mismatches. For RAID 1 and 10, verify compares

the primary and secondary disks to find data inconsistencies.

Verification can last over an hour, depending on vdisk size, utility priority, and amount of I/O

activity. When verification is complete, the number of inconsistencies found is reported with event

code 21 (Vdisk verification complete) in the event log. Such inconsistencies can indicate

that a disk in the vdisk is going bad. You can use a vdisk while it is being verified.

Syntax

Parameters vdisks

Name or serial number of the vdisks to verify. For syntax, see Command syntax.

Example Verify vdisk VD1:

# verify vdisk VD1
