Shared memory requirements

Additional shared memory is required when Dynamic Provisioning is used in conjunction with Dynamic Tiering, active flash, capacity saving (deduplication and compression), or Thin Image pools. The amount of additional shared memory needed depends on the size of the Dynamic Provisioning and Dynamic Tiering pools.

Shared memory is installed and removed by your service representative. For details about the installation and removal of shared memory, see the hardware reference guide for your storage system.

Caution Before shared memory is removed, all Dynamic Provisioning, Dynamic Tiering, and active flash pools must be deleted.
