perccli /cx/vx start cc [force]
perccli /cx/vx stop cc
The detailed description for each command follows.
perccli /cx/vx pause cc
This command pauses an ongoing consistency check process. You can resume the consistency check later. You can run this
command only on a virtual drive that has a consistency check operation running.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v4 pause cc
perccli /cx/vx resume cc
This command resumes a suspended consistency check operation. You can run this command on a virtual drive that has a
paused consistency check operation.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v4 resume cc
perccli /cx/vx show cc
This command shows the progress of the consistency check operation in percentage.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v5 show cc
perccli /cx/vx start cc force
This command starts a consistency check operation for a virtual drive. Typically, a consistency check operation is run on an
initialized virtual drive. Use the force option to run a consistency check on an uninitialized drive.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v4 start cc
NOTE: A consistency check does not run on RAID 0 virtual disks.
perccli /cx/vx stop cc
This command stops a consistency check operation. You can run this command only for a virtual drive that has a consistency
check operation running.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v4 stop cc
NOTE: You cannot resume a stopped consistency check process.
Background initialization commands
The PERC Command Line Tool supports the following commands for background initialization:
perccli /cx/vx resume bgi
perccli /cx/vx set autobgi=on|off
perccli /cx/vx show autobgi
perccli /cx/vx show bgi
