verify vdisk
Description
Analyzes redundant vdisks to find and fix inconsistencies between their redundancy data and their
user data. This command applies to linear storage only.
This command acts on all disks in a vdisk but not dedicated spares or leftover disks. This command
will find and optionally 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). This command 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 verify (VRFY) job, use the
show vdisks on page 259 command.
When verification is complete, event 21 is logged and specifies the number of inconsistencies found.
Such inconsistencies can indicate that a disk is going bad.
NOTE: The scrub vdisk on page 106 command operates similarly to verify vdisk and can find
media errors for any RAID level, including NRAID and RAID 0.
