View Storage Resource Pools

The following properties display:

• Name—Name of the storage resource pool.
• Emulation—Emulation type (FBA, CKD - not applicable for storage systems that are running HYPERMAX OS 5977, Mixed emulation is also a supported type).
• Overall Efficiency—Overall efficiency
• Physical Used (%)—Physical used capacity, expressed as a percentage
• Physical Capacity (TB)—Physical capacity
• Effective Used Capacity (%)—Effective used capacity, expressed as a percentage
• Provisioned Capacity (TB)—Provisioned capacity
• Unreducible (GB)—Amount of unreducible data at an SRP level (only available on storage systems running PowerMaxOS 5978 Q1 2021 SR or later)

The following controls are available:

• Modify— Modify Storage Resource Pool details
• Add EDisks— Add external disks

Details tab

• Name of the storage resource pool
• Description—Description
• Overall Efficiency—The current data reduction efficiency on this storage resource pool
• Data Reduction—Indicates whether data reduction is enabled or disabled for this storage resource pool.
• Data Reduction Ratio—Data Reduction ratio
• Unreducible (TB)—Amount of unreducible data at an SRP level (only available on storage systems running PowerMaxOS 5978 Q1 2021 SR)
• DRR on Reducible Only —DRR on reducible only (only available on storage systems running PowerMaxOS 5978 Q1 2021 SR)
• Compression State—The compression state
• Default Emulation—The default emulation for the pool (FBA or CKD)
• Effective Used Capacity (%)—The effective used capacity, expressed as a percentage
• Effective Used Capacity (TB)—The effective used capacity
• Physical Capacity (TB)—Physical capacity
• Physical Free Capacity (TB)—Physical free capacity
• Provisioned Capacity (TB)—Provisioned capacity
• Snapshot Modified Capacity (TB)—Snapshot modified capacity
• Snapshot Total Capacity (TB)—Snapshot total capacity
• Reserved Capacity % (0-80)—Reserved capacity
• Usable by RDFA DSE—Specifies whether the Storage Resource Pool can be used for SRDF/A DSE operations. This field does not display for external SRPs.
• Disk Groups—Number of Disk Groups
• Reliability State—This property reflects the overall RAID group and device group health. The possible values for the reliability state are:
  • Optimal—All RAID groups in the device group are healthy, and there is sufficient available spare capacity to cover any spindle in the device group.
  • NoSpare—All RAID groups in the device group are healthy, and there is insufficient available spare capacity in the device group (one or more spindles cannot be covered).
  • Rebuilding—One or more RAID groups in the device group are in a Degraded state, and rebuilding of the degraded RAID groups is taking place (assumes sufficient spare capacity to accommodate rebuilding).
  • NoRebuild—One or more RAID groups in the device group are in a Degraded state, and one or more RAID groups in the device group is prevented from rebuilding (due to insufficient spare capacity).
  • Failed—One or more RAID groups in the device group are in a Failed state.
• Target Effective Capacity (TB)—Target effective capacity
• Add Capacity State—Add capacity state
• Add Capacity Est. Time to Completion—Add capacity estimated time to completion
• Add Capacity Est. Time to Completion—Add capacity estimated time to completion

FBA tab

The panels also provide links to views displaying objects contained in the pool. There is a number after each link, indicating the number of objects in the corresponding view. For example, clicking the number next to Disk Groups opens a view listing the disk groups in the storage resource pool.
