6020-VolVerify Test Options

The 6020-VolVerify test enables administrators to execute manual parity checks on existing array volumes. Parity checking applies only to RAID-1 and RAID-5 volumes. Check data parity using the 6120volverify test before performing tape backup overwrite cycles, approximately once every 30 days.


Note -

Ensure that the system health is optimal before running 6120-VolVerify. For example, make sure that no LUNs are under reconstruction, the status of all disks is 0, and any actionable events are resolved.



Note -

This test requires you to enter the default array password. For information about defining the default array password, see Setting Configuration Options.


Option
Description
Agent
Host agent name.
Device Key
The key for the array to be testes.
Device Name
The assigned name of the array to be tested.
Product
The product name for the array to be tested.
Address
The IP address of the array to be tested.
Volume Name
The name of the volume to be verified. The volume name is a name internal to the array and is not seen by the host.
Fix_Errors
An option that corrects parity errors on RAID-5 volumes and corrects mirrored data errors on RAID-1 volumes. If Fix_Errors is not specified, the 6120-VolVerify test will report errors but not correct them.
If the Fix_Errors option is specified and an error is detected, the 6120-VolVerify test will regenerate parity from the existing data on the volume.
Rate
The speed at which the 6120-VolVerify test is to run. The execution rate is any number from 1 to 16. The default rate is 1, which has the minimum performance impact on the data host.
User
The name of the user currently logged required to initiate the test on the array.
Password
The default array password for the system, if one is configured.
Number of Passes
The number of iterations of the test to be run on the array.
Verbose Mode
Whether the test results are detailed (verbose) or not.
Send Results to Email
The email address to which test results are to be sent.
