● QTCR: Quarantined critical. The vdisk is critical with at least one inaccessible disk. For example,
two disks are inaccessible in a RAID-6 disk group or one disk is inaccessible for other fault-
tolerant RAID levels. If the inaccessible disks come online or if after 60 seconds from being
quarantined the disk group is QTCR or QTDN, the disk group is automatically dequarantined.
● QTDN: Quarantined with a down disk. The RAID-6 disk group has one inaccessible disk. The
disk group is fault tolerant but degraded. If the inaccessible disks come online or if after 60
seconds from being quarantined the disk group is QTCR or QTDN, the disk group is automatically
dequarantined.
● QTOF: Quarantined offline. The disk group is offline with multiple inaccessible disks causing user
data to be incomplete, or is an NRAID or RAID-0 disk group.
● STOP: The disk group is stopped.
● UNKN: Unknown.
● UP: Up. The disk group is online and does not have fault-tolerant attributes.
Jobs
Shows whether a job is running and its percent complete.
● DRSC: A disk is being scrubbed.
● EXPD: The disk group is being expanded.
● INIT: The disk group is initializing.
● RBAL: The ADAPT disk group is being rebalanced.
● RCON: At least one disk in the vdisk is being reconstructed.
● VDRAIN: The virtual disk group is being removed and its data is being drained to another disk
group.
● VPREP: The virtual disk group is being prepared for use in a virtual pool.
● VRECV: The virtual disk group is being recovered to restore its membership in the virtual pool.
● VREMV: The disk group and its data are being removed.
● VRFY: The disk group is being verified.
● VRSC: The disk group is being scrubbed.
● Blank if no job is running.
Job%
● 0%-99%: Percent complete of running job
● Blank if no job is running (job has completed)
Serial Number
The serial number of the disk group.
Spin Down
● Disabled: DSD is disabled for the disk group.
● Enabled - all spinning: DSD is enabled for the disk group.
● Partial spin-down: DSD is enabled for the disk group and its disks are partially spun down to
conserve power.
● Full spin-down: DSD is enabled for the disk group and its disks are fully spun down to
conserve power.
SD Delay
For spinning disks in non-ADAPT disk groups, the period of inactivity after which the disk group’s
disks and dedicated spares will automatically spin down, from 1 to 360 minutes. The value 0 means
spin down is disabled.
Sec Fmt
The sector format of disks in the disk group.
● 512n: All disks use 512-byte native sector size. Each logical block and physical block is 512 bytes.
● 512e: All disks use 512-byte emulated sector size. Each logical block is 512 bytes and each
physical block is 4096 bytes. Eight logical blocks will be stored sequentially in each physical block.
Logical blocks may or may not be aligned with physical block boundaries.
● Mixed: The disk group contains a mix of 512n and 512e disks. This is supported, but for
consistent and predictable performance, do not mix disks of different rotational speed or sector
size types (512n, 512e).
