 show verify
9000 series controllers support background tasks and allow you to schedule a 
regular time when they occur. 
Verify is one of the supported background tasks. Rebuild and selftest are other 
background tasks for which there are separate schedules. Migrate and 
initialize are additional background tasks that follow the same schedule as 
rebuild. For each background task, up to 7 time periods can be registered, 
known as slots 1 through 7. Each task schedule can be managed by a set of 
commands including adddelshow and set a task. Background task 
schedules have a slot id, start-day-time, duration, and status attributes. 
For details about setting up a schedule for background verify tasks, see 
“Setting Up a Verify Schedule” on page 46.
Verify activity verifies all units based on their unit type. Verifying RAID-1 
involves checking that both drives contain the exact data. On RAID-5, the 
parity information is used to verify data integrity. RAID-10 and 50 are 
composite types and follow their respective array types. On 9000 series, non-
redundant units such as RAID-0, JBOD, single, and spare, are also verified 
(by reading and reporting un-readable sectors). If any parity mismatches are 
found, the array will be automatically background initialized. (For 
information about the initialization process, see the user guide that came with 
your 3ware RAID controller.)
The 
show verify
 command displays the current verify background task 
schedule as illustrated below.

A status of “disabled” indicates that the controller will not use the defined 
schedule timeslots and will start verifying immediately (within 10 to 15 
minutes), if the verify command is entered manually, or it will begin 
automatically if the autoverify option is set. Rebuilds, migrations, and 
initializations will take priority over verifies.
