Used (%)

U(%)

Pool used capacity rate

Data Volumes Used Capacity

(None)

raidcom get pool -key total_saving

DATAVOL_USED(BLK)

Total used capacity of DP-VOLs

Saving Effect (Capacity saving effected by both of the capacity saving function and accelerated compression function.)

Saving Ratio

SES(%)

Ratio of the pool used capacity (#1) against the total used capacity of DP-VOLs (#3).

Saving

SE_SAVING(BLK)

Saved capacity (= the total used capacity of DP-VOLs (#3) - the pool used capacity (#1))

Software Saving (Saving effected by the capacity saving function)

Saving Ratio

raidcom get pool -key software_saving

PLS(%)

The saved ratio with the capacity saving function.

Compression Ratio

(Not Available)

The saved ratio with the compression function.

As for RAID Manager, a data capacity before compression (PRE_CMP_USED(BLK)) is displayed.

Deduplication Ratio

The deduplication ratio with the deduplication function.

As for RAID Manager, a data capacity before deduplication (PRE_DDP_USED(BLK)) is displayed.

Saving

PL_SAVING(BLK)

The saved capacity with the capacity saving function.

(=Compression (#10) + Deduplication (#11) + Reclaim (#12) - System Data (#13))

Compression

CMP(BLK)

The saved capacity with the compression function.

Deduplication

DDP(BLK)

Deduplicated capacity

Reclaim

RECLAIM(BLK)
