Figure 184  Change Storage 
Disk State Screen

Select the storage disk whose state you want to change.

Select the state (Online or Offline) to assign to the selected storage 

disk, and then click Apply.

After the Status screen informs you that the storage disk’s status was 

successfully changed, click Close. The Change Storage Disk State 

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.

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.
