Volume

if an IM volume is present on the monitored system.

The Status field describes the status of the IM volume and has 2 options: "Ok" or "Unknown." "Ok"
indicates either that the IM volume is completely operational. The "Unknown" option indicates that
there is problem with the IM volume that the CIM Browser cannot identify.

The "Redundancy Status" field describes the status of the IM volume redundancy and has three
options: "Fully Redundant", "In Degraded Mode", or "Redundancy Is Lost." "Fully Redundant" indicates
that the IM volume is functioning properly and that the data is fully redundant. "In Degraded Mode"
indicates that the IM volume is running in a degraded mode. A possible cause of this mode is the
failure of a single disk. "Redundancy is Lost" indicates that the redundant data is lost. A possible
cause of this mode is the failure of both disks.

The "Additional Redundancy Information" field options are "Resynch in progress" or "Resynch not in
progress." When the resynchronization is in progress, the CIM Browser displays a status bar giving
the approximate percent completion and an estimate of the time until completion.

Physical
