Physical Summary
The Physical Summary provides system-wide capacity status.
.
Physical Summary
# Pools
Links to XIV Storage Pools Summary
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.
Hard Limit
Maximum physical capacity that can be used by volumes and snapshots in the pool.
Free Hard
Amount of unused physical space in the array
Free Soft
Unused amount of the logical storage that has been presented to hosts and applications
Hard Utilization
(hard limit - free hard)/hard limit
Spare Disks
# of spare disks in the array
Spare Modules
# of spare modules in the array
Target Spare Disks
# of spare disks on the remote target system
Target Spare Modules
# of spare modules on the remote target system
Usable Volumes
The Usable Volumes fields provide an overview of available storage capacity.
Usable Summary
Disk Space
Sum of the number of drives times the drive capacity
Available Disk Space
XIV Available Disk Space = (number_of_disks - number_of_spare_disks - (number_of_spare_modules * 12) * disk_capacity * 0.96/2
Formatted Volume Space
Sum of all volume sizes, or total allocated (or provisioned) storage
Formatted Snapshot Space
Sum of volume sizes minus the sum of all volumes used
Formatted Space
Formatted available and usable storage
Formatted Space Used
The Formatted Space Used value is used to derive Formatted Utilization
Formatted with No Volumes
The unused portion of the provisioned capacity shared by all volumes; volumes do not consume storage until pages are written by the OS; all LUNs are thin
Overall Unavailable Disk Space
Metadata and system reserve used for traces and statistics
Subscription
The thermometer mouse-over indicates if storage has been over-subscribed.
Formatted Utilization
The thermometer mouse-over indicates the formatted storage utilization %, calculated as Formatted Space Used/Formatted Space
Logical Volumes
Logical Volumes in XIV Arrays represent the amount of logical capacity that has been made available to hosts (and applications on those hosts).
