Continuous Data Protection Operation Status

The status is displayed in:

The details page of the CDP-enabled virtual disk in the Info tab, see the Data protection field.
The Virtual Disks List in the Virtual Disk Summary area, see the Data protection field.

Possible status:

Status	Description
Broken	Indicates that Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is permanently broken on the virtual disk and the problem cannot be resolved. This may be due to a configuration problem. See the Event Log or System Health for additional information.
Being Reverted	The CDP-enabled virtual disk is being reverted to the rollback image.
Disabled	This momentary status indicates the completion of disabling CDP on the virtual disk.
Disabling...	CDP is being disabled on the virtual disk.
Enabled	CDP is enabled on the virtual disk and is in normal working condition. Data changes are being retained in the history log.
Failed	Indicates that there is a problem with CDP on the virtual disk. It may be possible for this problem to be resolved. See the Event Log or System Health for additional information.
Unknown	The status is unknown. See the Event Log or System Health for additional information.

History Log Status

In the event that the history log cannot be written to, history log status will be displayed in the details page of the CDP-enabled virtual disk. Refer to the Info tab in the Storage Source field.

Possible status:

Status	Description
History log not present	Indicates that the history log cannot be found. This could be caused by a pool or physical disk issue. Check for additional information on the Info tab. Also see the Event Log or System Health for additional information.
Reverting using history log	The CDP-enabled virtual disk is being reverted to the rollback image. This operation uses the history log.
History log failed	The history log cannot be written to. This could be caused by a pool or physical disk issue. Check for additional information on the Info tab. Also see the Event Log or System Health for additional information.
History log being deactivated	CDP is being disabled for the virtual disk and the history log is being destaged. This operation may take some time depending on the size of the history log before being disabled.
History log is in an unknown state	The status is unknown. This could be caused by a pool or physical disk issue. Check for additional information on the Info tab. Also see the Event Log or System Health for additional information.

Rollback Operation Status

The rollback status is displayed in the details page of the CDP-enabled virtual disk in the Rollbacks tab. See Operation and Status columns.

Possible status:

Status	Description
Active	The rollback is in normal working condition.
Expired	When the restore point of a rollback has been destaged (because the history log reaches the maximum size or the retention time for the history log expires), the rollback will reach expired status and is no longer valid. An expired rollback should be manually deleted. This status only applies to a rollback that expires, not a persistent rollback.
Failed	Indicates that there is a problem with the rollback operation. It may be possible for this problem to be resolved. See the Event Log or System Health for additional information.
Reverting	The rollback is currently being used to restore the rollback image to the protected virtual disk.
Splitting	The rollback is currently being transformed to a fully usable virtual disk. When splitting completes the rollback will exist and operate independently of the protected virtual disk.
Unknown	The rollback operation state is unknown.
