The repair volume parity command repairs the parity errors on a volume.

Supported Arrays

This command applies to any individual storage array, including the E4000, E2700, E5600, E2800, E5700, EF600 and EF300 arrays, as long as all SMcli packages are installed.

Roles

To execute this command on an E4000, E2800, E5700, EF600, or EF300 storage array, you must have the Storage Admin role.

Context

Caution

If volume parity and volume data do not match, volume data might be defective rather than volume parity. Repairing volume parity destroys the ability to repair the defective volume data, if necessary.

Syntax

repair volume [volumeName] parity
parityErrorFile="filename"
[verbose=(TRUE | FALSE)]

Parameters

Parameter Description

volume

The name of the volume for which you are repairing parity. Enclose the volume name in square brackets ([ ]). If the volume name has special characters or numbers, you must enclose the volume name in double quotation marks (" ") inside square brackets.

parityErrorFile

The file path and the file name that contains the parity error information that you use to repair the errors. Enclose the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:

file="C:\Program Files\CLI\sup\parfile.txt"

Note

A parityErrorFile is the result of a previous check volume parity operation.

verbose

The setting to capture progress details, such as percent complete, and to show the information as the volume parity is being repaired. To capture progress details, set this parameter to TRUE. To prevent capturing progress details, set this parameter to FALSE.
