The Storage Volumes view
The Storage Volumes view lists all storage volumes in the selected cluster. By default, storage volumes are sorted in
ascending alphabetical order, then by name. The arrow in the default sort column indicates the direction of the sort; ascending
(
) or descending ( ). You can sort columns of data, select one or more storage volumes in the list, and show or hide
properties links on the screen.
In the main panel of the screen, you can perform these tasks:
● Create virtual volumes
● Provision virtual volumes
● Set the rebuild type
● Claim all the storage on the supporting array
● Unlcaim storage
● Create extents
● Show ITLs
This screen shows the following information about storage volumes:
Column Description
Storage Volume The name of the storage volume.
Capacity The size of the storage volume.
Health The overall health of the storage volume. Storage volume status provides more
information.
Status Indicates how the storage volume is functioning in the cluster. Storage volume status
provides more information.
Use Indicates whether the storage volume is Unclaimed, Claimed, Used, Unusable,
or contains metadata (used as a meta-volume).
Provision Type Indicates how the storage volume was provisioned. Possible value:
● Legacy — The storage volume was provisioned from non-integrated storage
arrays.
Thin Rebuild Indicates if a thin rebuild will be used for the storage volume.
Thin Capable Indicates if the storage volume is thin-capable.
Vendor The name of the supporting array's manufacturer.
Largest Free Chunk The total number of bytes in the largest range of blocks available on the storage
volume. (Displays when selected in the View filter in the upper-right corner of
the screen. Viewing the largest free chunk on a storage volume provides more
information.)
Storage Array The storage array on which this storage volume was created. To view the storage
array properties, click the storage array name link.
Storage Volume Properties Panel
This screen also displays the properties of the storage volumes in a separate panel at the extreme right side of the screen. Using
the Storage Volume Properties panel, you can:
● View the details of the storage volume
● Turn on thin rebuild on the storage volume
● View the storage volume map
● Rename the storage volume
● View the details of the storage array from where the storage volume has been created
● Rename the storage array
