Changing the pool subscription limit

The Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role is required to perform this task.

1. Perform one of the following to display the Pools window.

For Command Suite:

• On the Resource tab, expand the Storage Systems tree. Right-click DP Pools of the target storage system, then select System GUI.

For Storage Navigator:

• In the Storage Systems tree on the left pane of the main window, select Pools.

2. From the Pools table on the right, click the row of the pool you want to change.

3. Perform one of the following to display the Edit Pools window.

• Click More Actions and select Edit Pools.

• Click Actions > Pool > Edit Pools to open the window.

4. In the Edit Pools window, check Subscription Limit, then type the subscription limit percentage.

If the subscription limit is blank, then it is disabled, and any amount of DP-VOLs can be created regardless of the pool free capacity.

5. Click Finish.

 If using the pool created by pool-VOLs assigned from accelerated compression-enabled parity groups, you can create DP-VOLs whose capacity is larger than the pool capacity reserved for writing even if the subscription limit is defined to 100 % or less. In this case, the free area of the pool must be monitored. If you want to specify the pool subscription limit which is not required to monitor the free area of the pool, specify the value which is lower than the value calculated by the following formula:

100 % * ( Pool physical capacity / Pool capacity )

6. In the Confirm window, confirm the settings, in Task Name type a unique name for this task or accept the default, then click Apply.

If Go to tasks window for status is checked, the Tasks window opens.
