Property Definition
For all the disk which are not part of the virtual disk will display as NON-Raid Disks for
systems running on Enhanced HBA mode. Hot-plugged in disks will also come up as NON-
RAID disks.
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 configuration has changed. The physical disks
included in the virtual disk are being modified to support the new configuration.
• 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 suffers a physical disk failure. In
addition, there are other conditions related to disk failures and the firmware 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.
NOTE: This property is displayed only if you set any Hot Spare Protection
Policy. For more information, see Setting Hot Spare Protection Policy.
Layout Displays the RAID level.
Size 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.
Device Name Displays the operating system device name for this object.
Bus Protocol Displays the technology that the physical disks included in the virtual disk are using.
Possible values are:
• SAS
• SATA
