Fields
- Access state
- The current state:
- Online — The logical volume is accessible to a host.
- Fenced — The logical volume is in the volume fenced state and is not accessible
to the host.
- Data state
- The current state:
- Normal — None of the other data states apply. The access state is online.
- Pinned — The read-only, inaccessible, rank failed, rank repairing, and
rank repaired data states do not apply and the logical volume has one or more
pinned non-retryable tracks. The access state is Online. The track identifiers
of any data logical tracks that are pinned non-retryable on the logical volume
are available through the Query Pinned Tracks function of the logical volume
object. Pinned tracks may be discarded using the Discard Pinned Tracks function.
- Read Only — The inaccessible, rank failed, rank repairing, and rank repaired
data states do not apply and the logical volume is read only because one or
more extents on the logical volume are on a rank in the read only data state.
The access state is Online.
- Inaccessible — The rank failed, rank repairing, and rank repaired data
states do not apply and one or more extents associated with the logical volume
are on a rank that is in the inaccessible data state. The access state is
Fenced.
- Rank Failed — The access state is Fenced. The data state transitions to
rank repairing if the rank transitions to the rank repairing state through
use of the repair array function.
- Rank Repairing — The rank failed data state does not apply and one or
more extents associated with the logical volume are on ranks in the repairing
data state. The access state is Fenced.
- Rank Repaired — The rank failed and rank repairing data states do not
apply and one or more extents associated with the logical volume are on ranks
that were in the repairing state, but are not in the repairing state now.
The access state is Fenced. The condition may be cleared through Restore access
(Unfence volume) function.
- Configuration state
- The current state:
- Normal — There are no logical volume configuration operations in progress.
- Configuring — The logical volume is in the process of being configured
for the first time.
- Reconfiguring — The logical volume is in the process of allocating or
deallocating extents due to a modification of the requested capacity attribute
after object creation.
- Deconfiguring — The logical volume is in the process of being deleted.
- Configuration Error — The initial configuration did not complete successfully.
Note: The configuration error state indicates that the initial configuration
of the volume did not complete successfully. If one or more of the configured
volumes displays the configuration error state, you must delete each one.
You can recreate them later.
