The metadata checker utility should be run in the following situations:
- Periodically, to validate the integrity of SAN File System metadata
- After reverting a fileset to a FlashCopy® image
- Following the failure of a metadata server to ensure that no metadata
corruption has occurred and to have the metadata checker utility attempt to
repair any inconsistencies that are found
- In response to error messages in the cluster log that indicate possible
metadata inconsistency
- In response to system behavior that implies possible metadata inconsistency
