Manage drive groups (physical deployments only)
Drive groups are the groups of drives on the system with similar characteristics, including type, capacity, and spindle speed. When configuring pools, you select the drove group to use and the number of drives from the group to add to the pool.
Each drive group is identified by an ID.
The following table lists the attributes for drive groups.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | ID of the drive group. |
| Drive type | Type of drives in the drive group. |
| FAST Cache | Indicates whether the drive group's drives can be added to FAST Cache. |
| Drive size | Capacity of one drive in the drive group. |
| Rotational speed | Rotational speed of the drives in the group. |
| Number of drives | Total number of drives in the drive group. |
| Unconfigured drives | Total number of drives in the drive group that are not in a pool. |
| Capacity | Total capacity of all drives in the drive group. |
| Recommended number of spares | Number of spares recommended for the drive group. |
| Drives past EOL | Number of drives past EOL (End of Life) in the group. |
| Drives approaching EOL | Number of drives that will reach EOL in 0-30 days, 0-60 days, 0-90 days and 0-180 days. |
