Starting a Verify Manually
Verification of units can be done automatically, on a schedule, or can be started manually, as described below. You can manually start a verify through either 3DM or 3BM. (See Enabling or Disabling Auto Verify for a Unit and Scheduling Background Tasks.)
 
Note: If the unit has not previously been initialized and you manually select Verify Unit in either 3BM or 3DM, the initialization process starts.
To verify a unit through 3DM
1
In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance.
2
In the Unit Maintenance section of the Maintenance page, select the unit you want to verify and click Verify Unit.
3DM puts the selected unit in verifying mode.
If Basic Verify is selected on the Scheduling page, the verification process begins almost immediately. If Advanced Verify is selected, the unit will not start actively verifying until the next scheduled time.
A Stop Verify link appears next to the unit on the Maintenance page. If you need to stop the verify process, use this link. (If initialization starts because the unit had not previously been initialized, it cannot be halted, so no Stop Verify link appears.)
To verify a unit through 3BM
1
An asterisk appears in the left-most column to indicate that it is selected.
2
Tab to the Maintain Unit button and press Enter.
3
On the pop-up menu, select Verify and press Enter.
Verification of the selected unit starts immediately.

If a unit that requires initialization has not previously been initialized, selecting Verify Unit starts initialization. This is because fault-tolerant units cannot be verified until after they are initialized.
If the unit is already in a state of rebuild, initialization, or verification, the unit cannot be verified in 3BM. You must boot the system and let the task finish in the background.
