How to properly allocate the disks for a raid?
Hey I'm having trouble rebuilding this Compellent Raid and wondering how I utilize 80% of each disk for my raid/storage.
It is showing as 0% and 0.01 allocated. I did just rebuild it so not sure if it will eventually allocate more of the drives? but I didnt see any options on how to specify this. If anyone has any step by step's that'd be highly appreciated.

Put some data on! ;)
To check the redundancy go to StorageTypes (right click)
A SC doesnt have a oldschool RAID setup. You simple define the level of redundancy on TIER level + Storage Profile and the software do the rest when data is comming in.
If a rebuild of existing data is needed that you will see a "Process" tab on the upper level. Its there where you see dataprogression task also.

Hey Joerg, I think it was a non-issue just a bit of confusion on my end, seems like its now growing the allocation once I start throwing some data on it as you mentioned haha.
Only storage experience I have had is with QNAP's which is a bit more old school as you mentioned. I think its looking healthy now that i've got a volume setup via iscsi and started throwing some data on it.
Thanks for the insights!
