possible error conditions:
emm
hct_profile
pdkeycertificate
pdsernummap

You can run the checkDB script in three possible modes:
Run the checkDB script in default mode (with no options) to generate a detailed
report listing possible error conditions in the database. When the checkDB script
is run in default mode, the script does not correct any error conditions it finds.
The script merely generates a report listing potential error conditions.

The script merely generates a report listing potential error conditions.
Run the checkDB script in "fix" mode to automatically delete certain orphaned
records from the database. When run in "fix" mode, with the -f or -F option, the
script generates a report listing potential error conditions and lists any changes it
made to the database as a result of running the script in "fix" mode.
Important: Our engineers recommend that you run the script with no options

This command directs the output from the checkDB script to a file in the
/dvs/dncs/tmp directory on the DNCS. We recommend that you direct the
output to a file for you to examine later because the output would otherwise
scroll too quickly off the screen for you to examine.
