HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform Manager User Guide (5697-0454, May 2010)

DescriptionProperty
The name of the virtual disk. The icon that appears next to the virtual disk indicates
one of the following:
•
—The virtual disk was created by a user.
•
—The virtual disk was created by VSM. The virtual disk may be a temporary
virtual disk used by a snapshot PiT, or an auxiliary virtual disk used by a syn-
chronous mirror group.
•
—The virtual disk status is Partial.
Name
The status of the virtual disk. Possible values:
• Normal—The initialization phase was completed and all the back-end LU(s)
onto which the virtual disk is mapped is/are present (accessible).
• Partial—The back-end LU(s) onto which the virtual disk is mapped is/are
missing.
Status
The state of the virtual disk. Possible values:
• Create—The active VSM server is creating the virtual disk. The VSM server
allocates the required capacity from the selected storage pools and updates
the setup database.
• Normal—The virtual disk is in a normal operational state.
• Delete—The virtual disk is being deleted. The VSM server marks the virtual disk
for deletion and waits for an acknowledgement from all the hosts that use it.
Once acknowledged, the VSM server deletes the virtual disk and marks the
capacity that it used as free space available for allocation. When the deletion
is complete, the virtual disk disappears from the virtual disk list.
• Migrate—A virtual disk is being created as part of the Map to Virtual Disk
operation, in which a native LUN becomes a VSM virtual disk and all data is
preserved.
State
The storage capacity of the virtual disk.Capacity
The actual storage capacity for a thin provisioned virtual disk. If the virtual disk is
not thin provisioned, the displayed value is the same as the value displayed in
Capacity.
Allocated Capacity
Yes indicates that the virtual disk is defined as a cluster resource. This setting tunes
the SVSP system behavior when the virtual disk is permitted to multiple hosts
(configured as a resource in a cluster application). For a description of configuring
virtual disks for cluster applications, see “Defining virtual disks as
clustered” on page 119.
Clustered
Shows which hosts have permission to access this virtual disk. If a single host has
access permission for the virtual disk, the name of that host is displayed. If multiple
hosts have access permission, the word “multiple” appears.
Owned by Host
