VERIFYDISK(1M)                                                  VERIFYDISK(1M)



NAME
     verifyDisk - verifies disk surface and partitions as an option disk

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/verifyDisk -d drivetype -c controller number -u unit
     number [ -l LUN]


DESCRIPTION
     verifyDisk invokes fx to perform two verification passes over the disk
     surface, isolate any bad blocks found, and then partition it as an option
     disk with all usable space in one partition, partition 7.  It is
     essentially equivalent to performing the operation  fx -x -c VERIFY on
     the indicated disk.


OPTIONS
     -d drivetype
          recognized types can be found in the fx(1M) man page.  The types
          include dksc for SCSI drives, jag for SCSI drives connected to a
          Jaguar VME SCSI controller, and fd for floppy drives.

     -c controller number
          the controller that the drive is attached to.

     -u unit number
          The unit number of the drive

     -l LUN
          The LUN of the drive, if the LUN is non-zero

EXAMPLE
     "verifyDisk -d dksc -c 0 -u 1" would verify the SCSI disk with unit ID
     number 1 attached to SCSI controller 0.



FILES
