= LVM cluster custom resource status reporting

[role="_abstract"]
To view a list of excluded devices and the reason for their exclusion, use the `LVMVolumeGroupNodeStatus` custom resource (CR).  

If static device discovery excludes a device, the status report displays the error in the following format:

[source,text]
----
<device> was not part of <vg_name> at creation (static device discovery enabled)
----

The `VGStatus.DeviceDiscoveryPolicy` parameter reports the effective discovery policy as one of the following values: 

* `Preconfigured`
* `RuntimeDynamic`
* `RuntimeStatic`.
