DescriptionProperty
The status of the PiT. Possible values:
• Init—The PiT is being created.
• Normal—The status of all the virtual disks from which the PiT is constructed is
normal. This includes an original virtual disk, the temporary virtual disk created
for the PiT, and any PiTs and snapshots between the original virtual disk and
the PiT in the hierarchy.
• Partial—The status of one of the virtual disks from which the PiT is constructed
is partial.
Status
The current state of the PiT. Possible values:
• Create—The temporary virtual disks created to hold future modifications to the
data of the virtual disks are in the process of creation. The reallocation tables
are not yet cleared.
• Normal— The temporary virtual disks completed initialization and are in a
normal operational state.
• Resync—The PiTs are being deleted. The modifications held in the temporary
virtual disk of each PiT are merged back into the entity that would have received
the modifications if the PiT had not been created, which may be the VDG
member on which the PiT was created or an earlier PiT on the same VDG
member.
• Rollback—The VDG is in the process of rollback. The PiTs are being deleted
without the modifications of the temporary virtual disks being written to the
VDG member on which the PiT was created or to an earlier PiT. For more in-
formation, see “Rolling back virtual disks and VDGs” on page 237.
• Absent—A transitional state in which the deletion of a PiT (resync) is completed
but the active VSM server is waiting for a final acknowledgement from the host
before it deletes the temporary virtual disks used for the PiT.
• Instant Restore— The VDG is performing an instant restore. Instant restore re-
places a VDG with a selected VDG snapshot of the VDG. For more information,
see “Restoring from snapshots” on page 239.
• Init—The reallocation tables of the PiT temporary virtual disks are being initial-
ized.
State
The percentage progress of the resynchronization process that takes place when
the PiT is deleted.
When a PiT is deleted, the data from the temporary virtual disk that was created
for each PiT is merged back into the entity that would have received those
modifications had the PiT not been created, which may be the VDG member on
which the PiT was created or an older PiT on the same VDG member.
Synchronization Level
The time at which the PiT was created.Creation Time
The total capacity of the temporary virtual disks that hold the modifications made
on the PiT for all VDG members. This field shows you how much capacity from
the storage pool is used by the PiT.
Capacity
A free text display field.Comment
Indicates if the PiT is an asynchronous mirror PiT created by the user. For informa-
tion about asynchronous mirror PiTs, see “Asynchronous mirroring” on page 269.
