So, I'm starting this post because we get a lot of alerts showing volumes are nearly full, but the upon looking, it doesn't appear so. I'm going to give an example. In the 3PAR Console, I see our storage systems, and currently, on the FC section, I show it to be 90% allocated (picture1). Clicking directly on the InServ, under summary, I see the same reporting. (picture2) Now, if I go the the InServ, Provisioning menu and then click on Virtual Volumes, I show virtual size is 25TB and Reserved User Size is 16TB, meaning here that I still have about 9TB free. (picture3) So my question is really.....how much do we actually have and why are the numbers reporting so differently? We use thin provisioning in almost everything we have.

Do you have a copy space column containing any virtual copies? Kind of need a wider view of the screen shots. Also maybe try compacting the cpg? |

What it seems you are looking at that shows 9TB free is a combination of all drive types, the screen shot showing just 2TB is FC only. From CLI: showsys -space -devtype NL showsys -space -devtype FC or to get the entire picture showsys -space Thanks |

You can also use showspace -t r5 (It could be r1, r6 -- depending what you are using). to get more details. showspace -t r5 -ssz 4 (-ssz = setsize ) |

Depending on the array, mentionning device type et ha could be a good idea... showspace -p -devtype FC -t r5 -ssz 6 -ha mag ha cage is default for raid 5, setsize 4 is default default raid is raid 1 |
