How to Check a Stand-Alone, Non-archiving or Archiving File System

The file checking process looks for, and optionally repairs, file corruption on the disk partitions belonging to the selected file system.


Note - You cannot check a UFS or shared file system through the browser interface. To perform this operation, use the command-line interface for that file system.


To check a stand-alone, non-archiving file system or an archiving file system:

  1. From the Manage Hosts menu or the Managed Hosts page, choose the name of the server on which the file system is located.

    The File Systems Summary page is displayed.

  2. Select the radio button next to the file system whose files you want to check.
  3. From the Operations menu, choose Check File System.

    The Check File System window is displayed.

  4. Select an option to either check the file system, or to check the file system and automatically make repairs.

    Note - The check and repair option is only available if the file system is not mounted.


  5. Specify a location to which the file system check report will be sent.
  6. Click Submit.
