Validating a storage area

Validating a storage area detects inconsistencies between the metadata in the object store database and the files in the associated storage areas.

Procedure

To validate a storage area:

  1. Start Content Consistency Checker. See Start Content Consistency Checker for instructions.
  2. Set the Content Consistency Checker options for validation ranges and maximum errors to be logged. See Set Content Consistency Checker options for more information.
  3. Select one or more storage areas that you want to validate and click File > Validate Storage Areas.
  4. In the Validate Storage Areas window, click Start to start the validation process.
  5. Optional: From the Validate Storage Areas window while the validation is in progress, you can choose from the following options:
    • You can monitor the validation process while it is in progress.
    • You can click Stop to stop the current validation process. If you selected the Enable Resume option before you started the validation, you can resume the process later where processing left off.  If the option was not selected before you started the validation and you interrupt the process, processing starts from the beginning the next time you start a validation.
  6. After the validation is complete or has been stopped, view the validation reports. See View validation reports for more information.
