Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Administrator's Guide

Virtual storage

For virtual storage, the expanded view shows the following:

• System level counts of volumes, snapshots, and disks that are in use versus system configuration limits.
• For each configured pool, the panel shows:
  • The capacity graph, with a link to View I/O Workload.
  • Counts of volumes and snapshots that are in use in that pool versus system configuration limits.
  • A pool allocation graph, with color-coding defined on-screen. Pool allocation is represented as a segmented horizontal bar. Text labels on the pool allocation graph report metrics for volume allocated, snapshot allocated, total committed pool allocation, and unused capacity.
  • A tiering capacity graph, with color-coding defined on-screen. Tiering capacity is represented as a segmented horizontal bar. Text labels on the tiering capacity graph report metrics for allocated and available capacity on each available tier.
• Volumes for each pool defined (click the arrow to expand the row). For each configured volume, the panel shows:
  • A filtering field with drop-down selection.
  • A table providing data for each volume: name, attached hosts, creation date, tree size, and capacity utilization.
