Virtual disk information—PiT tab
The PiT tab provides information about any snapshot PiTs created for the selected virtual disk. For
more information about PiTs, see “Working with PiTs” on page 200.
Table 41 Virtual disk PiT tab fields
DescriptionProperty
The row number.No
The name of a PiT.Name
The status of the PiT.
• 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 of the PiT are being merged back into the entity that would have
received those modifications had the PiT not been created. This may be the
selected virtual disk or an earlier PiT on the selected virtual disk.
• Rollback—The virtual disk is in the process of rollback. The PiT is being deleted
without the modifications of the temporary virtual disk being resynchronized
with the virtual disk. For more information, see “Rolling back virtual disks and
VDGs” on page 237.
• Absent—A transitional state in which PiT deletion (resync) is complete but the
VSM server is waiting for a final acknowledgement from the host before it de-
letes the temporary virtual disks used for the deleted PiT.
• Instant Restore snapshot—The virtual disk on which the PiT was created is in
the process of Restore. For more information, see “Restoring from snap-
shots” 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 lower level which may be the virtual disk, or
an older PiT.
Synchronization Level
The time at which the PiT was created.Creation Time
