terminated on Provisioning Manager,
such as file system and device file
creation, are not reflected in the GUI

A mismatch may have occurred
between the host information held by
the server and the host status.

system or device file and are not
displayed on the GUI, the
corresponding file system or device file
itself is not displayed.

volume group is supported by

display file systems or device files that
consist of unsupported disks.
