Virtual Disks 237
Background Initialization—A background initialization is
being performed on the virtual disk.
Formatting—The virtual disk is being formatted. Formatting
applies to the CERC SATA1.5/6ch controllers. For more
information, see
Format and Initialize; Slow and Fast Initialize .
Initializing—The virtual disk is being initialized.
Initialization applies to the PERC 4/SC, 4/DC, 4e/DC, 4/Di,
4e/Si, and 4e/Di controllers. For more information, see
Format
and Initialize; Slow and Fast Initialize
.
On some controllers, the virtual disk state is not updated until
the controller performs an I/O operation. For more
information, see
I/O and Reboot Requirements for Detecting
Physical Disk Status Changes
.
Degraded Redundancy—This state is applicable to RAID 6
only in which a physical disk in a redundant virtual disk is not
online, but the virtual disk is still accessible and functioning.
Partitions This property displays whether the virtual disk has a partition.
The possible values are Not Available and Link to the
Partitions information page.
Virtual Disk Bad

This property displays whether the virtual disk has bad blocks.
Encrypted This property displays whether the virtual disk is encrypted.
The possible values are Yes and No.

This property displays whether the Hot Spare Protection
Policy has been violated.
NOTE: This property is displayed only if you set any Hot Spare
Protection Policy. For more information, see Setting Hot Spare

.
Layout This property displays the RAID level.
Size This property displays the total capacity of the virtual disk.
The algorithm for calculating the virtual disk size rounds a
value of 0.005 or less down to 0.00 and a value between 0.006
and 0.009 up to 0.01. For example, a virtual disk size of
819.725 is rounded down to 819.72. A virtual disk size of
819.726 is rounded up to 819.73.
