Because SCANDISK can take a long time to run, you might want to do a status check after starting a scan. You can do this using the INQUIRE command:
[.] { INQUIRE | INQ }
INQUIRE displays the lowest tid and rowid being scanned among the AMPS involved, and reports SCANDISK progress as a percentage of total time to completion. It also displays a list of errors that occurred since the last INQUIRE command.
This .INQUIRE command is similar to the INQUIRE startup option for SCANDISK, but this command runs only once when you invoke it. Unlike the INQUIRE startup option, the INQUIRE command cannot be set to automatically repeat at specified intervals.
The SCANFREE section of INQUIRE output shows the status of scanning free CIs.
This is sample INQUIRE output.
