In general commands on Isilon with an underscore in them are un-documented and are for support/engineering use only.
Some Examples:
isi_for_array (send commands to any number of nodes)
isi_radish (ask for data about a particular disk; this may be deprecated)
isi_vol_copy (NDMP-dump ingest from NetApp 7M)
isi_vol_copy_vnx (NDMP-dump ingest from a VNX/Celerra)
So I wouldn't expect it to be documented is my point. If you want to run a health-check there are other ways of doing it, or you can usually ask support to assist under an active maintenance contract. (just don't open it as a SEV1 SR)
