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 disk created to hold future modifications to the
virtual disk data is in the process of creation. The reallocation table is not yet
cleared.
• Normal— The temporary virtual disk completed initialization and is in a normal
operational state.
• Resync—The PiT is being deleted. The modifications held in the temporary
virtual disk are merged back into the snapshot on which the PiT was created
(the selected snapshot) or an earlier PiT.
• Rollback—The snapshot on which the PiT was created (each member of the
selected VDG snapshot), is in the process of rollback. The PiT is being deleted
without the modifications of the temporary virtual disk being written to the
snapshot on which the PiT was created or to an earlier PiT. For more informa-
tion, see “Navigating through snapshot hierarchies” on page 236.
• Absent—A transitional state in which the deletion of a PiT (resync) is complete
but the active VSM server is waiting for a final acknowledgement from the host
before it deletes the temporary virtual disks used for the deleted PiT.
• Instant Restore—The snapshot on which the PiT was created (each member of
the selected VDG snapshot) is performing an instant restore. For more inform-
ation, see “Restoring from snapshots” on page 239.
• Init—The reallocation table on the PiT temporary virtual disk is being created
and initialized.
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 the PiT is merged back into the entity that would have received those
modifications had the PiT not been created, which may be the virtual disk or
snapshot on which the PiT was created or an older PiT on the same virtual disk or
snapshot.
Synchronization Level
The time at which the PiT was created.Creation Time
The size of the temporary virtual disk which holds the modifications made on the
PiT. 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 remote mirror PiT created by the user. For
information about asynchronous mirror PiTs, see “Asynchronous mirror-
ing” on page 269.
