Issue/Introduction
This article provides instructions on running a manual integrity check on a VMware Data Recovery (VDR) deduplication store.
Environment
VMware Data Recovery 1.x
Resolution
To run a manual integrity check:
Note: This process takes longer for larger datastores or shares.
- Connect to the VMware Data Recovery appliance in your vCenter Server client.
- Click the Configuration tab and select destinations.
- Select a deduplication store.
- Select Integrity check in the top-right corner.
Note: Alternatively, right-click on the deduplication store, and click Integrity check.
- Select Yes to initiate a manual integrity check, when prompted.
Note: A manual integrity check is required to remove the damaged restore points on the deduplication store. Ensure to mark them for deletion before running your integrity check.
To mark the damaged restore points for deletion:
- Open VDR.
- Click the Restore tab.
- Expand the virtual machine which has the damaged restore point and click the checkbox for that virtual machine.
- Right-click the damaged restore point and click Mark for Delete.
- Run the manual integrity check twice. You need to do a double integrity check in this case.
Note: During a manual integrity check, backup, and restore jobs are not run.
