6. Disk Scan Checks
When you use the –SCAN option, the validation examines the data on
both drives of the mirrored pair and ensures that the blocks have valid
checksums. If both the primary and mirror drives contain invalid
checksums, an error is reported for the file in question. If one drive has a
valid checksum and the other drive has an invalid checksum, the good
data is rewritten to the drive with the invalid data and the checking
continues. If neither drive contains invalid checksums, the data is
compared and any mismatch results in an error reported to the user,
which identifies the location of the mismatch.
To limit the scan to the primary or the mirror drive, use the –PRIMARYSCAN
or –MIRRORSCAN option in the place of the –SCAN option. When you
specify either of these options, the scan validates checksums on the
specified drive. If the other drive is available, it is used for checksum error
recovery if the checksum is valid on that drive.
When you use the –FASTSCAN option, the validation only compares the
data on the two drives of the mirrored pair. Any mismatch is reported to
the user.
You can specify –FULLSCAN to perform both scan validation and data
validation. When you use –FULLSCAN, the scan validation is performed
first, followed by the structure validation.
Note: Neither the –SCAN nor the –FASTSCAN option performs the
structured data validation.
Scan validation is performed for all file types, including unstructured files.
FCHECK errors displayed during a scan validation include:
Checksum 300
Medium 311
Compare 313
FCHECK might also report other errors, but they are typically related to
path loss or a down drive. Check Event Management Service (EMS) logs
for disk subsystem events related to such errors.
