Verify operations

The EVSVR Verify operations let you check the consistency of the information in your vault store partitions, vault store databases, and fingerprint databases. A Verify operation has four Option settings from which you can select. The setting determines what data EVSVR verifies.

Table: Option settings for a Verify operation lists the effects of the Option settings.

Option setting

Effect

ArchiveObjects

Verifies that the vault store database records and fingerprint database records point to savesets and SIS parts in a partition:

  • Verifies that each saveset record points to a valid saveset.

  • Verifies that each SIS part record points to a valid SIS part.

You must select the required level of verification for this option.

DatabaseLinkages

Verifies the linkages between the vault store databases and fingerprint databases:

  • Verifies that for each archived item record in a vault store database, a SIS part record exists in the fingerprint database. You can select by archive and date range.

  • Verifies that the reference count for each SIS part record in the fingerprint database matches the total number of references in the vault store databases. You can select by date range but not by archive.

  • Verifies that, for each collection record, the number of referenced files in a CAB file or savesets in a clip matches the combined total of the following:

    • The number of savesets in the collection as recorded in the vault store database.

    • The number of SIS parts in the collection as recorded in the fingerprint database.

    You can select by date range but not by archive.

  • Reports on the number of unreferenced, unshared, and shared SIS parts.

DatabaseReferences

Verifies that the savesets and SIS parts in a partition are referenced by database records:

  • Verifies that each saveset that is located in a partition is pointed to by a saveset record in a vault store database.

    If the saveset is collected, also verifies that the collection record is complete.

  • Verifies that each SIS part that is located in a partition is pointed to by a fingerprint database record.

    If the SIS part is collected, also verifies that the collection record is complete.

Note the following:

  • If you want to perform a DatabaseReferences Verify operation on an EMC Centera partition, you must ensure that the Query capability is enabled on the EMC Centera device.

  • In rare cases, this operation may report the wrong results when items are archived to more than one EMC Centera partition within the same vault store.

DetectCABCollectionIdMismatch

Verifies that the vault store databases contain CAB file collection records whose collection identities match the file names of the associated CAB files. For example, this operation verifies that, when a collection record has a collection identity of 1234, the name of the associated CAB file is Collection1234.cab.

If you find any instances of mismatches between the collection identities and the CAB file names for certain partitions in a vault store database, run the RecreateMissingDBReferences Repair operation for those partitions.

Complete

Performs a DatabaseLinkages Verify operation, followed by an ArchiveObjects Verify operation.

EVSVR performs the ArchiveObjects Verify operation at the most detailed level (SavesetValid).
