View thin volume details

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

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 its Details view.
