# View thin volume details

A storage volume is an identifiable unit of data storage. Storage groups are sets of volumes.

## Prerequisites

See Roles and associated permissions to determine the user roles that can perform this task.

## About this task

This procedure explains how to view thin volume details.

## Steps

1. Select the storage system.
2. Select Storage > Volumes.
3. Filter on a thin volume type, such as TDEV.
4. Select a thin volume and click to open the Details view.

   The following properties display:

   - Attached BCV—Defines the attached BCV to be paired with the standard volume.
   - Attached VDEV TGT Volume—Volume to which this source volume would be paired.
   - RDF Type—SRDF configuration
   - Geometry - Type—Method used to define the geometry of the volume.
   - Geometry - Number of Cylinders—Number of cylinders

   - Mirror Set DA Status—Volume status information for each member in the mirror set
   - Mirror Set Invalid Tracks—Number of invalid tracks for each mirror in the mirror set
   - Priority QoS—Priority value that is assigned to the volume. Valid values are 1 (highest) through 16 (the lowest).
   - Copy Pace - RDF—Copy pace priority during SRDF operations
   - Copy Pace - Mirror Copy—Copy pace priority during mirror operations
   - Copy Pace - Clone—Copy pace priority during clone operations
   - Copy Pace - VLUN—Copy pace priority during virtual LUN operations
   - Dynamic Cache Partition Name—Name of the cache partition

   The Details view links you to views displaying objects contained in and associated with the virtual volume. Each link is followed by a number, indicating the number of objects in the corresponding view. For example, clicking the number next to Storage Group opens a view listing the storage groups that are associated with the volume.
