Reserved - Used HDP Pool

When Total is selected in Internal / External, this item displays the total capacity of the pages that are actually used in pool volume of Dynamic Provisioning and the number of logical devices. The pool volumes of Thin Image are not included in the Dynamic Provisioning pool volume. This capacity does not include the control cylinder.

When an item other than Total is selected in Internal / External, this item displays the number of logical devices that are actually used in the Dynamic Provisioning pool volume. The capacity does not display in this item, but is counted as part of Reserved - Other.

Reserved - Unused HDP Pool

When the total is selected in Internal / External, this item displays the capacity remaining after subtracting the Used HDP Pool value from the total capacity of pool volume of Dynamic Provisioning. Pool volume of Thin Image is not included in pool volume of Dynamic Provisioning. Control cylinder is not included in the capacity. The number of logical devices does not display.

When an item other than Total is selected in Internal / External, the capacity and the number of logical devices are not displayed in this item, and the capacity is counted as part of Reserved - Other.

Reserved - Other

This item displays the total capacity and the number of logical devices of the following volumes:

  • Journal volumes
  • Thin Image pool volumes

The total capacity includes:

  • The pool-VOL capacity that is not used as pool capacity
  • The capacity of the system pool-VOL management area (approx. 4.1 GB per pool)

The control cylinder is not included in the capacity.

When an item other than Total is selected in Internal / External, the capacities for Reserved - Used HDP Pool and Reserved - Unused HDP Pool are also counted as part of this item.
