"pelmon check_base -ra" vs "pelmon rebuild_vfd"
Problem
What is the difference between "pelmon check_base -ra" vs "pelmon rebuild_vfd" ?
Resolution
"pelmon check_base -ra":
During pelmon check_base command, several checks are performed, including a VFD check.
However, the VFD check made during check_base is limited only to some basic checkings, such as existence of the VFD index file, exitence of the VFD root file and some version checks. No checks on the VFD content are made during check_base, unless some important changes are detected, such as VFD version change.
"pelmon rebuild_vfd":
During pelmon rebuild_vfd, the VFD is first exported in a text file
starting from the VFD index file. Then the resulting text file is
imported, creating the entire VFD structure.
