Virtual Disk Properties
The virtual disk properties can vary depending on the model of the controller.
Table 30. Virtual Disk Properties
Property Denition
Status These icons represent the severity or health of the storage component.
— Normal/OK
— Warning/Non-critical
— Critical/Failure/Error
For more information, see Storage Component Severity.
Name Displays the virtual disk name.
State Displays the status of the virtual disk. Possible values are:
• Ready — The virtual disk is functioning normally.
• Degraded — A physical disk in a redundant virtual disk is not online.
• Resynching — A consistency check is being performed on the virtual disk.
Performing a Cancelling A Check Consistency on a virtual disk while it is in
Resynching state causes the virtual disk to be in a Failed Redundancy state.
• Resynching Paused — A consistency check has been paused on the virtual disk.
• Regenerating — A physical disk in the virtual disk is rebuilding.
• Reconstructing — The virtual disk conguration has changed. The physical disks
included in the virtual disk are being modied to support the new conguration.
• Failed — The virtual disk has encountered a failure of one or more components and
is no longer functioning.
• Failed Redundancy — This state is displayed when the initial consistency check for
the virtual disk is canceled or is not successful. This state may also be displayed
when a RAID 1, RAID 10 or RAID 1-concatenated virtual disk suers a physical disk
failure. In addition, there are other conditions related to disk failures and the
rmware that can cause a virtual disk to display a Failed Redundancy state. When a
virtual disk is in Failed Redundancy state, performing a Check Consistency may
return the virtual disk to a Ready state.
• Background Initialization — A background initialization is being performed on the
virtual disk.
• Formatting — The virtual disk is being formatted. For more information, see
Format, Initialize, Slow, And Fast Initialize.
• Initializing — The virtual disk is being initialized. For more information, see Format,
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 and RAID 60 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 Block Displays whether the virtual disk has bad blocks.
Encrypted Displays whether the virtual disk is encrypted. The possible values are Yes and No.
Hot Spare Policy Violated Displays whether the Hot Spare Protection Policy has been violated.
