(*cough*) rpm -Va

-v is verbose option; -V is the Verify option

It is easiest to catch the output for review; the process will
take up to an hour or two on a fully loaded system

I would use something like:

         rpm -Va | tee /tmp/rpm-Va-060318.txt

and you can watch the fun as it progresses
