Table 29 Stripe set Virtual Disk tab fields
Description Property
The row number. No
The name of the virtual disk. The icon that appears next to the virtual disk indicates
one of the following:
• —The virtual disk was created by a user.
• —The virtual disk was created by VSM. The virtual disk may be a temporary
virtual disk used by a snapshot PiT, or an auxiliary virtual disk used by a syn-
chronous mirror group.
• —The virtual disk status is Partial.
Name
The status of the virtual disk. Possible values:
• Normal—The initialization phase was completed and the back-end LU(s) onto
which the virtual disk is mapped is/are present (accessible).
• Partial—The back-end LU(s) onto which the virtual disk is mapped is/are
missing.
NOTE:
Even if the VSM status of the virtual disk is partial, there is a possibility
that the virtual disk is still accessible to hosts. You can check from the
host side if the virtual disk is accessible.
Status
The state of the virtual disk. Possible values:
• Create—The active VSM server is creating the virtual disk. The VSM server
allocates the required capacity from the selected storage pools and updates
the setup database.
• Normal—The virtual disk is in a normal operational state.
• Delete—The virtual disk is being deleted. The VSM server marks the virtual disk
for deletion and waits for an acknowledgement from all the hosts that use it.
Once acknowledged, the VSM server deletes the virtual disk and marks the
capacity that it used as free space available for allocation. When the deletion
is complete, the virtual disk disappears from the Virtual Disk list.
• Migrate—A virtual disk is being created as part of the Map to virtual disk op-
eration, in which a native LUN becomes a VSM virtual disk and all data is
preserved.
State
The virtual capacity with which this virtual disk was created. Capacity
Yes indicates that the virtual disk is defined as a cluster resource. This setting tunes
the SVSP system behavior when the virtual disk is permitted to multiple hosts
(configured as a resource in a cluster application). For a description of configuring
virtual disks for cluster applications, see “
Defining virtual disks as
clustered ” on page 119.
Clustered
Shows which hosts have permission to access the selected virtual disk. If a single
host has access permission for the virtual disk, the name of that host is displayed.
If multiple hosts have access permission, the word “multiple” appears.
