Parameters

NOTE:

The starting logical block address and the ending logical block address 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 address and ending address of the data blocks, you can reduce the time

that a virtual disk consistency check takes to complete.

Parameter

Description

virtualDisk

Name of the specific virtual disk to check

consistency. You must put brackets ([ ]) around the

virtual disk name. If the virtual disk name has

special characters, you must also put quotation

marks (" ") around the virtual disk name.

consistencyErrorFile

Name of the file in which to save the consistency

error information. You must put quotation marks

(" ") around the file name.

mediaErrorFile

Name of the file in which to save the media error

information. You must put quotation marks (" ")

around the file name.

priority

Specifies the priority that the consistency check

has 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 shows the information while 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
