Description

Property

The status of the PiT.

Init—The PiT is being created.

Normal—The status of all the virtual disks from which the PiT is constructed is
normal. This includes an original virtual disk, the temporary virtual disk created
for the PiT, and any PiTs and snapshots between the original virtual disk and
the PiT in the hierarchy.

Partial—The status of one of the virtual disks from which the PiT is constructed
is partial.

Status

The current state of the PiT. Possible values:

Create—The temporary virtual disk created to hold future modifications to the
virtual disk data is in the process of creation. The reallocation table is not yet
cleared.

Normal—The temporary virtual disk completed initialization and is in normal
operational state.

Resync—The PiT is being deleted. The modifications held in the temporary
virtual disk are merged back into the snapshot on which the PiT was created
(the selected snapshot) or an earlier PiT.

Rollback—The snapshot on which the PiT was created (the selected snapshot),
is in the process of rollback. The PiT is being deleted without the modifications
of the temporary virtual disk being written to the snapshot on which the PiT
was created or to an earlier PiT. For more information, see “

Navigating through

snapshot hierarchies

” on page 227.

Absent—A transitional state in which PiT deletion (resync) is complete but the
active VSM server is waiting for a final acknowledge from the host before it
deletes the temporary virtual disks used for the deleted PiT.

Instant Restore—The snapshot on which the PiT was created (the selected
snapshot) is in the process of performing an instant restore. For more informa-
tion, see “

Restoring from snapshots

” on page 230.

Init—The reallocation table on the PiT temporary virtual disk is being created
and initialized.

State

The percentage progress of the resynchronization process that takes place when
the PiT is deleted.
When a PiT is deleted, the data from the temporary virtual disk that was created
for the PiT is merged back into the entity that would have received those
modifications had the PiT not been created, which may be the virtual disk or
snapshot on which the PiT was created or an older PiT on the same virtual disk or
snapshot.

Synchronization Level

The time at which the PiT was created.

Creation Time

The size of the temporary virtual disk which holds the modifications made on the
PiT. This field shows you how much capacity from the storage pool is used by the
PiT.

Capacity

A free text display field.

Comment

Indicates if the PiT is an asynchronous remote mirror PiT created by the user. For
information about asynchronous mirror PiTs, see “

Asynchronous mirror-

ing

” on page 259.
