Viewing the VDisk status

You must view the status of virtual disks (VDisks) as part of the repair verification procedures.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

The repair verification is not complete until all VDisks are shown as online. Any VDisks that remain offline, degraded, or excluded might contain errors or are not recognized because of a problem with the SAN environment. If problems still exist on VDisks after the repair actions on the SAN Volume Controller are complete, resolve the disk drive or SAN problems, and then perform repair verification for the SAN Volume Controller to verify that no other problems exist.

Complete the following steps to view the status of VDisks:

  1. Click Work with Virtual Disks > Virtual Disks. The Viewing Virtual Disks panel is displayed.
  2. Ensure that all VDisks are online.
Notes:
  1. To repair offline VDisks, see the IBM System Storage® SAN Volume Controller Software Installation and Configuration Guide.
  2. If you have a degraded VDisk and all of the associated nodes and MDisks are online, call the IBM® Support Center for assistance.
