Viewing, stopping, or pausing a scan

Scans in progress are listed on the Active Tasks panel on the GUI. If you need to halt the scan,
click Stop or Pause on the Active Tasks panel. Click Resume to resume the scan.

To view the progress of a scan from the CLI, use the ibrix_task command. The -s option lists
scheduled tasks.

ibrix_task -i [-f FILESYSTEMS] [-h HOSTNAME]

To stop a scan, use this command:

ibrix_task -k -n TASKID [-F] [-s]

To pause a scan, use this command:

ibrix_task -p -n TASKID

To resume a scan, use this command:

ibrix_task -r -n TASKID

Viewing validation scan results

While a validation scan is running, it is listed on the Active Tasks panel on the GUI (select the file
system, and from the lower Navigator select Active Tasks > WORM/Data Retention > Data Validation
Scans). Information about completed scans is listed on the Inactive Tasks panel (select the file
system, and then select Inactive Tasks from the lower Navigator). On the Inactive Tasks panel,
select a validation task and then click Details to see more information about the scan.

A unique validation summary file is also generated at the end of each scan. The files are created
under the root directory of the file system at {filesystem root}/.archiving/validation/
history

. The validation summary files are named <ID-n>.sum, such as 1–0.sum, 2–0.sum,

and so on. The ID is the task ID assigned by IBRIX software when the scan was started. The second
number is 0 unless there is an existing summary file with the same task ID, in which case the second
number is incremented to make the filename unique.

Following is a sample validation summary file:

# cat /fsIbrix/.archiving/validation/history/4-0.sum
JOB_ID=4
FILESYSTEM_NAME=fsIbrix
FILESYSTEM_MOUNT_DIR=/fsIbrix
PATH=/fsIbrix/./directory90
SCANTYPE=hashsum
CREATE_TIME=Wed Jul 18 05:18:12 2012
START_TIME=Wed Jul 18 05:18:12 2012
