Parity Group Capacity

• Internal: Capacity of all of the parity groups in the internal volume.

• Free¹: Free space capacity of the internal volume. The expanded capacity appears for parity groups on which accelerated compression is enabled.

• Total²: Total capacity of the internal volume. The expanded capacity appears for parity groups on which accelerated compression is enabled.

• External: Capacity of all of the parity groups in the external volume.

• Free¹: Free space capacity of the external volume.

• Total²: Total capacity of the external volume.

Number of Drives

Format/Shredding Task Status

Formatting n %: Displays the progress of the format task.

Preparing Quick Format n %: Displays the progress of the quick format preparing.

Shredding n %: Displays the progress of the shredding.

Verifying n % (x / y parity groups): Displays the progress of the verifying. n represents the progress of the verifying. x represents the number of parity groups that are completed of verifying. y represents the number of all parity groups that are to be verified.

Blank: States that the format, shredding, or verifying is not being performed. If the configuration of the storage system is being changed, this field is also blank because the information cannot be collected.

Notes:

1. The control information used by the storage system, such as control cylinders, is not included in the Free capacity.

2. The total capacity of the LDEVs and the Free capacity is displayed in the Total.

Parity Group ID

LDEV Status

Status of each LDEV in the parity group.

Normal: Normal status.

Blocked: Host cannot access a blocked volume.

Warning: Problem occurs in the volume.

Formatting: Volume is being formatted.

Preparing Quick Format: Volume is being prepared for quick formatting.

Base Emulation Type¹

Emulation type of each parity group.

Capacity

• Free: Capacity of the free space of each parity group. The expanded capacity appears for parity groups on which accelerated compression is enabled. The control information used by the storage system, such as control cylinders, is not included in the Free capacity.

• Total: The total capacity of the LDEVs and Free capacity is displayed in the Total. The expanded capacity appears for parity groups on which accelerated compression is enabled.

Physical Capacity¹

Capacity which is available for the writing of data in the parity group.

Number of LDEVs

• Unallocated: Number of unallocated LDEVs in each parity group.

• Total: Total number of LDEVs in each parity group.

Drive Type/RPM

Drive type and RPM in use on this LDEV.

Encryption

Encryption information.

Enable: encrypted parity group

Disable: non-encrypted parity group

Hyphen (-): the parity group cannot be defined of the encryption function.

Accelerated Compression¹

Displays information about the accelerated compression of the parity group.

Enabled: The accelerated compression of the parity group is enabled.

Disabled: The accelerated compression of the parity group is disabled.

Hyphen (-): accelerated compression is not supported on the parity group.

Expanded Space Used¹

Displays the allocation of the LDEV in the expanded area or the physical area. If accelerated compression is enabled, LDEVs are initially allocated in the physical area. Otherwise, LDEVs are allocated in the expanded area.

Yes: The LDEV is allocated in the expanded area.

No: The LDEV is allocated in the physical area.

Attribute

Displays the attribute of the parity group.

Hyphen (-): The parity group in which the attribute is not defined.
