Verifying shelved files

The verification of shelved files lets you know whether your shelved archives have been lost or damaged.

If a shelf is local to a specific edge server, you must issue the p4 verify -S command on the edge server where the shelf was created. If the shelf was promoted, run the p4 verify -S on the commit server.

You may also run the p4 verify -S t command on a replica to request re-transfer of a shelved archive that is missing or bad. Re-transferring a shelved archive from the master only works for shelved archives that are present on the master; that is, for a shelf that was originally created on the master or that was promoted if it was created on an edge server.
