4. Click Expand Virtual Disk. Expansion begins and the percentage completed is shown. You can perform other functions during the expansion. You can view the status of the expansion on the Vdisk Utility Progress page or on any page that shows virtual disk icons. Checking the Progress of a Utility To check the status of any running virtual disk utilities: ● Select Manage > Virtual Disk Config > Vdisk Utility Progress. For each virtual disk, the virtual disk panel shows a status icon; the name, RAID level, size, number of disk drives, and number of volumes; and utility status, if any. For each virtual disk where a utility is running, a Utility Running For Virtual Disk panel specifies its status. Note - To stop the Initialize or Verify utility, go to the Abort A Vdisk Utility page. To stop background scrub of virtual disks, go to the General Config > System Configuration page. You cannot stop the Expand or Reconstruct utility unless you delete the virtual disk. Removing a Virtual Disk From Quarantine The quarantine icon indicates that a previously fault-tolerant virtual disk is quarantined because not all of its drives were detected after a restart or rescan. Quarantine isolates the virtual disk from host access, and prevents the storage system from making the virtual disk critical and starting reconstruction when drives are "missing" for these reasons: ■ Slow to spin up after system power-up ■ Not properly seated in their slots ■ In an powered-off enclosure ■ Inserted from a different system and contains old metadata The virtual disk can be fully recovered if the missing drives can be restored. Make sure that no drives have been inadvertently removed and that no cables have been unplugged. Sometimes not all drives in the virtual disk power up. Check that all enclosures have rebooted after a power failure. If these problems are found and then fixed, the virtual disk recovers and no data is lost. Chapter 3 Managing Storage 75
