complete, the formatted volume can be used.
If the startup process is complete, but part of it or all of it has not
completed successfully, a message to that effect appears.
For volumes that have not completed successfully, clicking the
[Detail] link displays detailed error information in another window.
In this case, export the log and contact the maintenance engineer.
