information on dead partitions.
Verifying a Disk
Verifying a disk checks the usability of all blocks on the disk and
optionally allows you to repair bad blocks. You may wish to verify a
disk after adding it to your system or before removing dead
partitions.
Note:
Verifying a disk is not the same as running
chkdisk
or
scandisk
under Windows NT and Windows 2000 (basic
disk only). The verify utility only checks the underlying
data blocks, not the filesystem consistency.
Verifying a Disk Without Repairing Bad Blocks
To verify a disk without repairing bad blocks use the
disk verify
command, as in the following example. This example shows how to
verify a disk whose SCSI device ID is (2,3,0). If the
disk verify
command finds bad blocks, they are listed on your screen.
HPN0> disk verify (2,3,0)
Executing: disk verify (CHANNEL=2,ID=3,LUN=0)
Verifying a Disk and Repairing Bad Blocks
To verify a disk and repair bad blocks, use the
disk verify
command with the
/repair
switch, as in the following example.
This example shows how to verify a disk, and repair any bad blocks
found on the disk.
HPN0> disk verify /repair=TRUE (2,3,0)
Executing: disk verify /repair=TRUE (CHANNEL=2,ID=3,LUN=0)
