IBM XIV Storage Pools 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:
The XIV Storage Pools Summary report provides a view of IBM XIV storage pool consumption, including a hard and soft status indicators to draw attention to when physical and logical capacity has been over-provisioned are reaching capacity limits. For example, for growing LUNs, 30% utilized may not be considered to be over-provisioned. However, over time, it may warrant a second look to determine a more efficient approach to storage allocation.
When generating this report, the Scope Selector enables customization of the hard and soft capacity values used to render the report.

Pool Name
The name of the storage pool links to the XIV Storage Pool Details.
Storage Array
Name of the XIV array links to the Array Capacity & Utilization report
Thin
Y = thin provisioning
Hard Limit
Maximum physical capacity that can be used by volumes and snapshots in the pool
Used
Physical capacity used by the volumes (see Allocated) + Snapshot Used
% Util
Used/Hard Limit
Available
Capacity that is available for allocation
Allocated
Amount of storage used by volumes; Note that Allocated does NOT include Snapshots.
Soft Limit
The logical amount of space for all storage pools in the array. A soft limit greater than the hard limit indicates thin provisioning.
Soft Util %
Soft Util % = Soft limit - Available/Soft Limit
Snapshot Used
Amount of storage in use by snapshots
Lock Status
Locked status
Lock Behavior
Lock behavior, such as Read Only

Hard Status
Physical Capacity Status: If % Util < 2% = empty, if % Util > 95% = near capacity, if % Util > 2% and <30% = over-provisioned
Soft Status
Logical Capacity Status: If % Util < 2% = empty, if % Util > 95% = near capacity, if % Util > 2% and <30% = over-provisioned
