Normal: Pool is in a normal status.
Warning: Pool-VOL in the pool is blocked, or the pool is being shrunk.
Blocked: The pool is full, or an error occurred in the pool, indicating that the pool is blocked. If the pool is in both Warning and Blocked status, only Blocked is displayed.

: In one or more
accelerated compression-enabled parity groups, this status show that an excess of the unanticipated usage might occur. In this case, consider revising the total capacity of LDEVs (pool volumes) carved from these parity groups.
