Blockpool Verify Behavior
A blockpool verify operation occurs if data on the system requires repair, for example, after
an unexpected shutdown due to a power loss. During a blockpool verify operation, the banner
displays the Attention state. Clicking Attention displays the message: A previous unclean
shutdown of the ETERNUS CS800 has required a data verification to commence. While in
this condition the ETERNUS CS800 is operational, but performance may be severely
degraded.
While a blockpool verify operation is in progress, some system operations are affected.
l Mounting VTL cartridges created prior to the blockpool verify may fail.
l Retrieving data created prior to the blockpool verify may fail.
l Creating and mounting new VTL cartridges should succeed.
l Ingesting new data to new VTL cartridges or using NAS/OST should succeed.
l Sending data that existed prior to the blockpool verify to a replication target may fail.
l Sending new data to a replication target, or receiving replicated data, should succeed.
l Space reclamation and healthchecks will fail.
When the blockpool verify is complete, the banner displays Normal, and the system resumes
normal operation
