HP 3PAR Common Provisioning Group (CPG) Summary
A common provisioning group (CPG) is a virtual pool of logical disks that allows up to 64 volumes.
Use Search to find a template, report or dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.
As you enter the name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the template, report or dashboard is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also click All Items in the match list to go directly to the Search Results.
StorageConsole provides different navigation options to slice and examine your collected data. You can explore the data by using the APTARE customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. The Inventory Navigator serves as a browser for your infrastructure by object type. See also Exploring Your Inventory.
Use the Reports tab to examine the StorageConsole catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:
The following illustration represents the view available for HP 3PAR storage arrays.
CPG Name
Name assigned to the Common Provisioning Group (CPG). Links to the HP 3PAR Common Provisioning Group (CPG) Detail report.
Storage Array
The name of the storage array.
Allocated
Sum of the allocated size for all associated logical drives.
User
Sum of the space allocated for users on all associated logical drives.
Snap
Sum of the snap size for all associated logical drives.
Admin
Sum of the admin size for all associated logical drives.
Logical Drives
Number of allocated logical drives.
Allocation Warning
User-defined threshold that can be set for Thinly Provisioned Virtual Volumes (TPVVs) and Commonly Provisioned Virtual Volumes (CPVVs) to alert users when they reach a certain size.
Growth Incr
Unit of storage by which additional logical disks are created and allocated to a Common Provisioning Group (CPG).
Growth Warning
User-defined threshold that can be set for Common Provisioning Groups (CPGs) to alert users when they reach a certain size. Growth warning is defined as: Growth Limit - (Allocation Warning * TotalManagedSpace)/100.
Growth Limit
User-defined threshold that can be set for Common Provisioning Groups (CPGs) to cap their potential size.
% Allocated
Calculated as Allocated/Growth Limit.
Device Type (Speed)
Indicates the specified device type for physical disks: FC for Fibre Channel, NL for Nearline, and SSD for Solid State Drive. Indicates a rough performance estimation between the drive and the other drives in the system. This does not represent a rotational speed for the drives without spinning media (SSD). For FC and NL drives, the number corresponds to both a performance measurement and an actual rotational speed. For SSD drives, the number is a relative performance benchmark that takes into account in I/O per second, bandwidth and the access time.
RAID Type
Indicates the RAID type for the logical disk: r0 = RAID-0, r1 = RAID-1, r5 = RAID-5 and r6 = RAID-6. RAID10 is displayed as RAID1+0.
Set Size
Displays the set size in the number of chunklets. The default relies on the RAID type specified: 2 for RAID-1, 4 for RAID-5, and 8 for RAID-6.
Availability
Normal or degraded
Step Size
Value derived directly from the Virtual Volume (VV) or from the Common Provisioning Group (for Thinly Provisioned VVs and Commonly provisioned VVs).
Row Size
Indicates the number of sets in a row. If the field is blank, no row limit is imposed.
Disk Filter
Displays the specific logical disks for the Common Provisioning Group (CPG).
HP 3PAR Common Provisioning Group (CPG) Detail
Detail reports are related to a specific enterprise object, such as a backup job or SAN fabric. You can only access detail reports through a link presented in the context of a main report, providing additional information that augments the main report. Detail reports cannot be generated, customized, or saved, as they are specific to the report from which they were derived. Therefore, they will not be available in search results.
Use Search to find the main template, report or a dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.
As you enter the template, dashboard or report name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the result is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also select All Items to display the full search results page and further filter your results.
You can use the Reports tab to browse through the StorageConsole templates, dashboards and reports. The navigation pane displays templates organized by products along with user created, and system folders. The main report is located here:
