Consistency check
The PERC Command Line Tool supports the following commands to schedule, perform, and view the status of a consistency
check (CC) operation:
perccli /cx set consistencycheck|cc=[off|seq|conc][delay=value] starttime=yyyy/mm/dd hh
[excludevd=x-y,z|none]
perccli /cx show cc
perccli /cx show ccrate
The detailed description for each command follows.
perccli /cx set consistencycheck |cc=[off|seq|conc] [delay=value]
starttime=yyyy/mm/dd hh] [excludevd=x-y,z |none]
This command schedules a consistency check (CC) operation. You can use the following options with the consistency check
