Check Virtual Disk Consistency

Check Virtual Disk Consistency

This command checks a virtual disk for consistency and media errors, and writes the results of the check to a file.

Syntax

check virtualDisk [virtualDiskName] consistency [consistencyErrorFile=filename] [mediaErrorFile=filename] [priority=(highest | high | medium | low | lowest)] [startingLBA=LBAvalue] [endingLBA=LBAvalue] [verbose=(TRUE|FALSE)]

Parameters

Parameter Description

virtualDiskName
The name of the specific virtual disk for which you want to check consistency. Enclose the virtual disk name in square brackets ([ ]). If the virtual disk name has special characters, you must also enclose the virtual disk name in double quotes (" ").

consistencyErrorFile
The name of the file in which you want to save the consistency error information. Enclose the filename in double quotes (" ").

mediaErrorFile
The name of the file in which you want to save the media error information. Enclose the filename in double quotes (" ").

priority
Defines the priority the consistency check will have relative to host I/O activity. Valid entries are highest, high, medium, low, or lowest

startingLBA The starting logical block address. Use integer values.

endingLBA The ending logical block address. Use integer values.

verbose
Captures progress details, such as percent complete, and displays the information as virtual disk consistency is being repaired. To capture progress details, set this parameter to TRUE. To prevent capturing progress details, set this parameter to FALSE.

Notes

The starting and ending logical block addresses are useful for very large single virtual disk LUNs. Running a virtual disk consistency check on a very large single virtual disk LUN can take a long time. By defining the beginning and ending addresses of data blocks, you can reduce the time that a virtual disk consistency check can take.
