JetStream Software provides a standalone Cloud Storage Object Test Tool that can detect and report broken or corrupted objects in storage containers used by protected domains.
Usage
The test tool is operated using the following syntax:cloud_stor_obj_testcli -t Azure -a <storageAccName> -s <storageAccSecretKey> -b <containerName> -x -l 50 > /tmp/<domain_name> 2>&1
FAQ
How does the tool determine if an object is broken or corrupted?
The tool checks the content of an object against the format defined by Jetstream Engineering.
It will do multiple checks to validate an object. To name a few, checks against object id, version, magic and other fields. The object is considered broken if any of them fails.
How is a memory buffer defined?
The memory buffer can be specified using the (-m) switch, increasing it will speed up the operation of the tool.
Select a memory buffer between 1 to 256; the default value is (64).
How is the utility operated from the back end?
The utility will run in the backend if “nohup” is used while running the command. The utility will continue even when the SSH session is terminated.
Example Syntax:
nohup cloud_stor_obj_testcli -t Azure -a <storageAccName> -s <storageAccSecretKey> -b <containerName> -x -l 50 > /tmp/<domain_name> 2>&1
