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)
