These API and CLI commands will affect the TIER verification process:

LUNs that are valid and formatted are verified.
If a tier is owned by the other unit, and it is healthy, the user is notified that the verification cannot occur
due to the ownership of the tier. The user can then retry the verification on the other unit.
The verification of LUNs on a tier is performed in the order of addressing on the tier. Only valid and
formatted LUNs can be verified.

problems. A loss of communication includes, but is not limited to, SAS expanders, hardware/software
failures, and SAS cable failures, and SFP failures.
Currently, when the controller encounters a loss of communication with a drive or a group of drives on
a SAS link, the software fails the drive(s) and continues operation. When cache coherency is enabled,
if either controller encounters a loss of communication with a drive, the firmware will fail the drive. This
allows a controller unit to maintain operation during disk-side events. Once the loss of communication
is resolved, however, the controller must rebuild all the affected drives. For large installations, a loss of
