Stripe set information—Virtual Disk tab
The Virtual Disk tab displays information about all virtual disks that are mapped to the selected stripe
set. A virtual disk is mapped to a stripe set if you add the stripe set to a storage pool and allocate a
virtual disk from the storage pool to a host. For information about allocating a virtual disk to a host,
see “Managing virtual disk permissions” on page 115.

DescriptionProperty
The row number.No
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 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.
NOTE:
Even if the VSM status of the virtual disk is partial, there is a possibility
that the virtual disk is still accessible to hosts. You can check from the
host side if the virtual disk is accessible.
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 op-
eration, in which a native LUN becomes a VSM virtual disk and all data is
preserved.
State
The virtual capacity with which this virtual disk was created.Capacity
