</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The <B>vldb_check</B> command checks the integrity of the Volume
Location Database (VLDB), reporting any errors or corruption it finds.
If there are problems, do not issue any <B>vos</B> commands until the
database is repaired.
<P><STRONG>Cautions</STRONG>
<P>The results can be unpredictable if the Volume Location (VL) Server makes
changes to the VLDB while this command is running. Use the <B>bos
shutdown</B> command to shutdown the local <B>vlserver</B> process
before running this command, or before creating a second copy of the
<B>vldb.DB0</B> file (with a different name) on which to run the
command.
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
<DL>
<P><DT><B>-database
</B><DD>Names the VLDB (copy of the <B>vldb.DB0</B> file) to
check. If the current working directory is not the location of the
file, provide a pathname, either full or relative to the current working
directory.
<P><DT><B>-uheader
</B><DD>Displays information which Ubik maintains in the database's
header.
<P><DT><B>-pheader
</B><DD>Displays information which the VL Server maintains in the database's
header.
<P><DT><B>-servers
</B><DD>Outputs the server entries from the VLDB, which list the IP addresses
registered for each file server machine in the cell.
<P><DT><B>-entries
</B><DD>Outputs every volume entry in the database. The information
includes the volume's name and the volume ID number for each of its
versions.
<P><DT><B>-verbose
</B><DD>Reports additional information about the database, including the number of
entries for each type of volume.
<P><DT><B>-help
</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
</DL>
<P><STRONG>Output</STRONG>
<P>If there are errors in the database, the output always reports them on the
standard error stream. If any options other than <B>-database</B>
or <B>-help</B> are provided, the output written to the standard output
stream includes additional information as described for each option in the
preceding <B>Options</B> section of this reference page. The output
is intended for debugging purposes and is meaningful to someone familiar with
the internal structure of the VLDB.
<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
<P>The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser <B>root</B>.
