screen shows the changed state for the storage disk you selected.

If desired, repeat steps 2 - 4 to change the state for additional storage
disks.
Note:
The “Online Pending” state applies only to deduplication-
enabled storage disks. This state means a verification
process is currently in progress. When verification is
complete, the status automatically changes to “Online.”
When a storage disk is in the Online Pending state, you
can retrieve from the storage disk but cannot make
modifications. Also, no store or delete operations are
performed on the storage disk.
When a storage disk is in an Online Pending state, you can
change the state only to Offline. If you change the state
from Online Pending to Online, the operation will fail.
