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 DXi has required a data
verification to commence. While in this condition the DXi 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
