Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
The name of the specific volume for which you want to check parity. Enclose the volume name in square brackets ([ ]). If the volume name contains special characters or consists only of numbers, you must enclose the identifier in double quotation marks (" ") inside square brackets. |
|
The file path and the file name to which you want to save the parity error information. Enclose the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:

Notes
The starting logical block address and the ending logical block address are useful for very large single-volume LUNs or namespaces. Running a volume parity check on a very large single volume LUN or namespace can take a long time. By defining the beginning address and ending address of the data blocks, you can reduce the time that a volume parity check takes to complete.
