Array Utilization Summary
Use Quick 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 Quick 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.
Use the Explorer to browse through the StorageConsole templates, dashboards and reports. The navigation pane displays templates organized by products along with user created, and system folders. This report is located here:
This report can be used to identify the percentage of raw storage that has been allocated to RAID groups and, more importantly, the percentage of raw capacity that is available.
Storage Array
The name of the array.
Virtualized By
For virtualized storage arrays only, for example HDS AMS, VSP; Parent arrays are listed, accounting for capacity that is collected from both the front and back ends of a virtualized array (HDS, IBM SVC, and NetApp). Each array links to the Array Capacity & Utilization report.
Physical/RAID: Raw Capacity
For Dell Compellent arrays: Sum of the capacity of all physical disks.
For EMC Symmetrix arrays: Sum of the capacity of all physical disks from all array groups—no spares. Note: When viewing raw capacity in EMC Control Center, disk group 0 (hot spares) is not included in the total capacity calculation—accounting for the difference between the EMC and Capacity Manager reported capacity values.
For EMC CLARiiON arrays: Sum of the capacity of all physical disks from all array groups—including spares (drives that are not allocated to an array group)
For HDS arrays: Sum of capacity of all PDEVs from all array groups. Capacity Manager assumes that all PDEVs are part of an array group, so PDEVs that are marked as--Not included in an array group--are included in the capacity calculation. That is, no disks are treated as spares.
For NetApp V-Series and vFilers: External capacity and vFiler capacity are excluded.
For HP 3PAR: Total capacity for all HP 3PAR disk drives associated with the 3PAR array.
Physical/RAID: Configured RAID
The amount of physical (raw) capacity that has been allocated to RAID groups.
For Dell Compellent: Sum of (Total Capacity - Free Capacity) of the managed physical disk.
For EMC Symmetrix: Sum of all the capacities of the PDEVs in the arrays that are assigned to the Array Group. NetApp: Raw capacity - Raw available capacity.
For IBM XIV: Amount of raw, physical storage in the storage array.
Physical/RAID: # RAID Groups
The number of RAID groups for this array drills down to the List Array Groups report. For NetApp storage, this refers to Aggregates. For HP 3PAR: Number of Common Provisioning Groups (CPGs). Links to HP 3PAR Common Provisioning Group (CPG) Summary.
Usable: Internal Capacity
This is the physical, usable capacity after RAID overhead. In the case of Symmetrix arrays, this is raw, usable capacity. For virtualized arrays (HDS, NetApp, and IBM SVC), this is the front-end internal storage. For HP 3PAR: Internal capacity. The total capacity for all Logical Drives (LDs).
Usable: Virtualized Capacity
Represents the capacity on the back-end array that has been given to the front-end array
Usable: External Capacity
For HDS arrays: Capacity from back-end, external volumes, derived from daisy-chained external storage (back-end systems). This is array group capacity that does not have PDEVs in the storage array.
For NetApp V-series: Sum of aggregated capacity
For NetApp vFilers: Sum of volume capacity
For HP 3PAR: Always blank. HP 3PAR does not virtualize storage.
Usable: Total Capacity
Total Capacity = Internal - Virtual + External Capacity
For thin-provisioned capacity: Total Capacity = Used + Free + Free Thin Capacity
For HP 3PAR: Internal capacity. The total capacity for all Logical Drives (LDs).
Usable: Used Capacity
Amount of internal RAID group capacity allocated to LUNs. The total capacity of physical disks that are associated with a RAID group, minus the total free capacity of the RAID groups; does not include virtualized capacity. For HP 3PAR: Total capacity of Logical Drives (LDs) where the LD is mapped to a virtual volume.
Usable: Free Thick Capacity
Available capacity of the array groups in the storage array; usable uncarved RAID capacity. For NetApp E-Series systems, Free Thick Capacity = Total Usable Capacity – Used Usable Capacity.
Usable: Free Thin Capacity
Dell Compellent: Sum of LUN capacity - sum of LUN active and replay capacity.
EMC Symmetrix: Free Thin = Pool Capacity - Pool Used from Thin Pool Summary.
EMC VNX (CLARiiON): Free Thin = Available Capacity from Thin Pool Summary.
IBM Enterprise: Free Thin = N/A. Thin provisioning for DS8000 via Extent Space Efficient (ESE) Volumes and Track Space Efficient (TSE) Volumes not collected.
Hitachi: Free Thin = DP pool capacity - used DP pool capacity.
HP EVA: Free Thin = N/A, no thin provisioning.
LUNS: # LUNs
The number of LUNs that have been created on the array. Click on the Used link or the LUN link to go to the LUN Utilization Summary Report. For HP 3PAR: Total number of Virtual Volumes.
LUNS: Total Capacity
The total capacity for the LUNs. For HP 3PAR: Total capacities of all Virtual Volumes (VVs) (fully provisioned and thinly provisioned).
LUNs: # Allocated
The number of LUNs from which storage has been allocated. For HP 3PAR: Total number of Virtual Volumes (VVs).
LUNs: Allocated Capacity
The total storage capacity for the allocated LUNs. For HDS arrays, it includes Dynamically Provisioned capacity. For HP 3PAR: Total capacities of all Virtual Volumes (VVs) exported to hosts.
LUNs: # Unallocated
The number of LUNs that have yet to be allocated. These are LUNs that do not have a path to a host. For HDS arrays, this number includes promised Dynamically Provisioned capacity, but no reserved space. For HP 3PAR: Total number of Virtual Volumes (VVs) not exported to hosts.
LUNs: UnAllocated Capacity
Amount of unallocated LUN capacity. For HDS arrays, this number includes promised, Dynamically Provisioned capacity, but no reserved space. For HP 3PAR: Total capacities of all Virtual Volumes (VVs) not exported to hosts.
LUNs: Total Free Capacity
Total Free = Usable Free Capacity + Usable Free Thin Capacity + LUNs UnAllocated Capacity
