To check for any inconsistencies between database information and storage pool volumes, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Note: You can only audit volumes that belong to storage pools with DATAFORMAT=NATIVE.
Select whether the server resolves any inconsistencies between the database information and the specified storage pool volume.
Primary Storage Pools | |
Yes | Tivoli Storage Manager fixes any inconsistencies as they
are detected.
Note: Do not use the AUDIT VOLUME command with FIX=YES if a restore process (RESTORE STGPOOL or RESTORE VOLUME is running. The AUDIT VOLUME command could cause the restore to be incomplete. |
No | Tivoli Storage Manager reports, but does not delete, database records that refer to files found with
inconsistencies. The default is No.
|
Copy Storage Pools | |
Yes | Tivoli Storage Manager deletes any references to the physical file and any database records that point to a physical file that does not exist. |
No | Tivoli Storage Manager reports the error and marks the physical file copy as damaged in the database. |
Select whether Tivoli Storage Manager ignores files that span multiple storage pool volumes (skipped files), when performing the audit for the specified storage pool volume.
Yes | Tivoli Storage Manager only audits complete files that are stored on the volume to be audited. For sequential access volumes, only the specified volume is mounted. The status of any skipped files is unknown. |
No | Specifies that Tivoli Storage Manager audits files that span multiple volumes when performing an audit operation on a specified volume. For sequential access volumes, multiple volumes can be mounted. The default is No. |
Select whether Tivoli Storage Manager sends detailed informational messages to the activity log and the server console about irretrievable files on the volume.
Yes | Tivoli Storage Manager is in quiet mode. Therefore, it only sends a summary report to the activity log and the server console. |
No | Tivoli Storage Manager is not in quiet mode. Therefore, it sends detailed informational messages and a summary report to the activity log and the server console. Each message contains the node, file space, and client name for the file. The default is No. |
Specify the beginning date of the range to audit volumes. All sequential volumes meeting the time range criteria that were written to after this date are audited. All online disk volumes in storage will be included in the audit. The default is the current date. The server starts one audit process for each volume and runs the process serially. You cannot use this parameter if you have specified a volume. This parameter is optional. To limit the number of volumes that may include disk volumes, use both the beginning and ending date fields along with the storage pool field.
You can specify the date by using one of the values below:
Value | Description | Example |
MM/DD/YYYY | A specific date | 10/25/01
If a date is entered, all candidate volumes written on that day (starting at 12:00:01 am) will be audited. |
TODAY | The current date | TODAY |
TODAY-days or -days | The current date minus days specified. The maximum number of days you can specify is 9999. | TODAY -7 or -7.
To audit volumes written to a week ago, you can specify FROMDATE=TODAY-7 or FROMDATE=-7 |
Specify the ending date of the range for volumes to audit. All volumes meeting the time range criteria that were written to before this date are audited. If you do not specify a value, the current date is used. You cannot use this parameter if you have specified a volume. This parameter is optional. To limit the number of volumes that may include disk volumes, use both the beginning and ending date fields along with the storage pool field.
You can specify the date using one of the values below:
Value | Description | Example |
MM/DD/YYYY | A specific date | 10/25/01
If a date is entered, all candidate volumes written on that day (starting at 12:00:01 am) will be evaluated. |
TODAY | The current date | TODAY |
TODAY-days or -days | The current date minus days specified. The maximum number of days you can specify is 9999. | TODAY -1 or -1.
To display information created up to yesterday, you can specify TODATE=TODAY-1 or simply TODATE=-1. |
Specifies that only the volumes from this storage pool will be audited. This parameter is optional. You cannot use this parameter if you have specified a volume.
