Check status of volume expansion

Query the status of your volume expansion by listing the value of the following attributes in the virtual-volumes context.

• expansion-status - Status of virtual volume expansion. Indicates whether a virtual volume expansion is underway or has failed.

  The attribute will have one of the following values:

  • in-progress - Expansion is in progress.
  • failed - Most recent in-progress expansion has failed and expansion needs to be retried. If expansion is not retried, then this state persists for up to two days. If two days pass with no fix, the failed state clears and the volume is assumed fixed.
  • unknown - Status cannot be determined. This may be because of a communication error or because of an internal programming error.
  • - (dash character) - None of the above states apply.
• expansion-summary - If there are no in-progess or failed expansions, and no virtual volumes with a non-zero expandable-capacity, then the virtual volume summary command displays No expansion activity in expansion-summary.
