| Description | This field specifies if the volume is set to online or offline by
the administrator. If a volume is offline, it cannot be accessed
by iscsi initiators.
When lost blocks that belong to a particular volume are found, the operational
status of the volume is set to not-available-due-to-lost-cached-blocks.
When the volume is in this state, If the user chooses to ignore the
lost blocks by setting the volume status to online, the admin status is automatically
set to online-lost-cached-blocks by the subsystem.
The online-lost-cached-blocks state of admin status conveys the fact that user
acknowledged and acted up on the lost-blocks state of the volume.
Upon reboot, when the subsystem finds a volume with adminstatus as online-lost-cached-blocks
, it sets the oper status to online instead of not-available-due-to-lost-cached-blocks
as the user already acknowledged the lost-blocks and choose to ignore them. |
