Description: Returns a string which indicates the restore/verify status associated with either the current, or last, restore/verify operation performed.

NOTE: This status does NOT reflect the current status of the mirror. This is simply a historical log of the last restore or verify command which started execution on the associated VP device. For example, this status may report a successfully executed restore operation but the mirror may have lost synchronization in the time period since the execution of the restore.

The possible strings that can be returned are:

restore/verify not run since reboot The restore/verify status is not persistent over kernel reboots. This status is returned whenever the restore or verify commands have not been issued since the last reboot.

restore successful The last command issued to this VP was a restore which was successful.

verify successful The last command issued to this VP was a verify which was successful.

restore cleared read errors The restore cleared the VP's read error counters. A physical restore operation was not performed.

restore operation active A restore operation is currently active on this VP.

verify operation active A verify operation is currently active on this VP.

restore was canceled A restore operation was started but the canceled at the user's request.

verify was canceled A verify operation was started but the canceled at the user's request.

mirror needs repair A restore operation was attempted on a mirror that need to be repaired.

memory allocation failure Buffer allocation necessary to perform a restore or verify operation were not available.

cannot verify a 'forced' mirror A verify operation was attempted on a mirror that was created using the 'force' option. Since the mirror was never synchronized on a block-by-block basis, the verify operation is expected to fail.

synchronization was lost during verify The verify operation was aborted due to a loss of synchronization. The error causing the loss of synchronization was not associated with the verify operation (an external event caused the loss).

error reading primary device A restore or verify command aborted due to a read error on the primary device during the operation.

error writing primary device A restore command aborted due to a write error on the primary device during the restore operation.

error reading secondary device A restore or verify command aborted due to a read error on the secondary device during the operation.

error writing secondary device A restore command aborted due to a write error on the secondary device during the restore operation.

error accessing tertiary device A restore or verify command aborted due to failure either communicating with a Loop B client system or because of a read or write error on the tertiary device.

verify error A verify error occured between the primary and secondary mirrored device.

tertiary device verify error A verify error occured between the primary and tertiary mirrored device.

status unavailable The restore status returned was invalid.
