HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform Manager user guide (AG781-96017, March 2009)

DescriptionProperty
The current state of the PiT. Possible values:
• Normal— The temporary virtual disk 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
virtual disk or snapshot on which the PiT was created or an earlier PiT on the
same virtual disk or snapshot.
• Rollback—The virtual disk or snapshot on which the PiT was created is in the
process of rollback. The PiT is being deleted without the modifications of the
temporary virtual disk being written to the entity that would have received those
modifications had the PiT not been created. For more information, see “Navig-
ating through snapshot hierarchies” on page 227.
• Absent—A transitional state in which PiT deletion (resync) is complete but the
active VSM server is waiting for a final acknowledge from the host before it
deletes the temporary virtual disks used for the deleted PiT.
• Instant Restore—The virtual disk or snapshot on which the PiT was created is
performing an instant restore. For more information, see “Restoring from
snapshots” on page 230.
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 259.

VDG snapshot information—PiT tab
The PiT tab displays any PiTs created on the selected VDG snapshot. A PiT created on a VDG snapshot
is a set of PiTs created on all snapshots that belong to the VDG snapshot.
