Viewing Information About All Vdisks - HP P2000 G3 Reference Manual

• Message. Information about the event.
NOTE: If you are having a problem with the system or a vdisk, check the event log before calling
technical support. Event messages might enable you to resolve the problem.
When reviewing events, do the following:
1. For any critical, error, or warning events, look for recommended actions in the event descriptions
reference guide.
Identify the primary events and any that might be the cause of the primary event. For example, an
over-temperature event could cause a disk failure.
2. View the event log and locate other critical/error/warning events in the sequence for the controller that
reported the event.
Repeat this step for the other controller if necessary.
3. Review the events that occurred before and after the primary event.
During this review you are looking for any events that might indicate the cause of the
critical/error/warning event. You are also looking for events that resulted from the
critical/error/warning event, known as secondary events.
4. Review the events following the primary and secondary events.
You are looking for any actions that might have already been taken to resolve the problems reported by
the events.

Viewing information about all vdisks

In the Configuration View panel, right-click Vdisks and select View > Overview. The Vdisks Overview table
shows the overall health, quantity, capacity, and space usage of existing vdisks. For descriptions of
storage-space color codes, see
For each vdisk, the Vdisks table shows the following details:
• Health.
OK. The vdisk is online with all disks working.
Degraded. The vdisk is being reconstructed, as shown by its Current Job property; or, a RAID-6
vdisk has degraded performance due to one missing disk but remains fault tolerant. You can use a
degraded RAID-6 vdisk but resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Fault. The vdisk can perform I/O functions for hosts but is not fault tolerant. Review the status
information and take the appropriate action, such as replacing a disk. You can use the vdisk but resolve
the problem as soon as possible.
Shut down. The vdisk is shut down (stopped).
N/A. Health status is not available.
• Name. Vdisk name.
• Size. Total storage space in the vdisk.
• Free. Available space in the vdisk.
• RAID. RAID level of the vdisk and all of its volumes.
• Status.
• CRIT: Critical. The vdisk is online but isn't fault tolerant because some of its disks are down.
• FTDN: Fault tolerant with down disks. The vdisk is online and fault tolerant, but some of its disks are
down.
• FTOL: Fault tolerant and online.
• OFFL: Offline. Either the vdisk is using offline initialization, or its disks are down and data may be
lost.
• QTCR: Quarantined critical. The vdisk is offline and quarantined because at least one disk is
missing; however, the vdisk could be accessed. For instance, one disk is missing from a mirror or
RAID-5.
