Unused Disks/Volume Groups
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:
Capacity Manager > Available or Reclaimable Storage > Unused Disks/Volume Groups
Use this report to view a list of hosts that have available space. These hosts have space from which more partitions or logical volumes can be created. This report can be used to identify storage that has been requested, but that is not being used. Then, the list can be emailed to the group that has requested the storage.
In the report’s scope selector, the Host Type option can be used to include virtual hosts in this host-based report: VM Guest, VM Server, VIO Guest, VIO Server, or Other. Note that host disks, not volume groups, are displayed for virtual hosts. Also, there are no unused disks for VM Guests, as virtual disks are created by the VM Guest.
Note: In this report, if the RAID type = 1, the capacity is divided by 2, to reflect true usable capacity.
For HP 3PAR, volume groups refer to Common Provisioning Groups.
