Verify Vdisk - HP P2000 Reference Manual

verify vdisk

Description Verifies whether vdisk redundancy data is consistent with its user data. For RAID 3, 5, 6, and 50,
verify checks all parity blocks to find data-parity mismatches. For RAID 1 and 10, verify compares
the primary and secondary disks to find data inconsistencies.
Verification can last over an hour, depending on vdisk size, utility priority, and amount of I/O
activity. When verification is complete, the number of inconsistencies found is reported with event
code 21 (Vdisk verification complete) in the event log. Such inconsistencies can indicate
that a disk in the vdisk is going bad. You can use a vdisk while it is being verified.
