Table 3-7 Disk Drive Status

StatusMeaning
UNKNOWNA volume in the UNKNOWN state does not have a label that the system can recognize. The volume may be from another system, it may be a new disk pack, or it may be a volume that has been formatted. An UNKNOWN volume is available for initialization.
SCRATCHA volume in the SCRATCH state can be initialized. It may contain data, but by scratching the volume, the user has indicated that the data is no longer needed.
LONERThe volume is in the LONER state when its master is not mounted or when the volume set is closed by the VSCLOSE command.
MASTERA volume in this state is the master volume of a volume set. In order for the system to recognize the volume set, the master volume must be mounted.
MEMBERA volume in this state belongs to a volume set whose master is mounted. If the master is not mounted, the volume is in the LONER state.

If you have Mirrored Disk/XL you also may see the following suffixes in the status portion of the display:

-MD

Mirrored disk

-SU

Split user volume

-SB

Split backup volume
