I'm trying to wrap my head around some very basic things in 3Par.. We have (8) 92GB SSD drives..
92GB * 8 = 736GB / 2 for RAID1 = 368GB..
However, my R1 CPG max size is 180GB (if I'm reading that correctly).. So 188GB is lost for "system" usage I'm guessing?
We only have 1 volume in a RAID1 CPG for this SSD..
Then it looks like 1 300GB volume was created and exported to 4 ESXi hosts. Of that 300GB, 165GB is used? But then in the VV screenshot it shows that 254.72 GB is used? WTF?
Then, to make matters even more confusing.. In VMWare, whoever set this up, added the Volume in VMWare as a 260GB datastore and VMWare saying 96GB is free..
Why create a 300GB volume when the max usable space is actually 180GB?
Why add it in VMWare as 260GB when it was exported as 300GB?
Thanks for the help..
