verify vdisk
Description
Analyzes redundant vdisks to find and fix inconsistencies between their redundancy data and their
user data. This command acts on disks that are associated with a vdisk and are neither dedicated
spares nor leftovers. This command will fix parity mismatches for RAID 3, 5, 6, and 50, and mirror
mismatches for RAID 1 and 10. This command can be performed only on a vdisk whose status is
FTOL (fault tolerant and online); it cannot be performed for NRAID or RAID 0.
Verification can last over an hour, depending on vdisk size, utility priority, and amount of I/O
activity. You can use a vdisk while it is being verified. To view the progress of a vdisk verify (
VRFY
)
job, use the
show vdisks
command.
When verification is complete, event 21 is logged and specifies the number of inconsistencies found.
Such inconsistencies can indicate that a disk in the vdisk is going bad.
TIP:
Unless you want to verify without fixing errors, it is better to use the
scrub vdisk
command,
which operates similarly to
verify vdisk
but also can find and fix media errors for any RAID
level, including NRAID and RAID 0.
Syntax
verify vdisk
vdisks
[fix yes|no]
Parameters
vdisks
Names or serial numbers of the vdisks to verify. For vdisk syntax, see
Command syntax
on page 22.
fix yes|no
Optional. Specifies whether or not to automatically fix parity mismatches by making parity match the
data in all cases. The default is
yes
. If you specify
no
, event 21 will report any errors found and they
will not be fixed.
Example

vd1
:
# verify vdisk vd1
