HP XP7 PA Software User Guide

IMPORTANT: Combined backend transfers:

In Thin Provisioned environments, the overall backend transfers at the RAID group level are reported

using combined backend transfer metric. For a Thin Provisioned V-Vol where the ThP pool is

associated with multiple RAID groups, the backend transfers are not tracked to the corresponding

RAID group level. The backend transfers contributed by all V-Vols in a ThP pool are combined and

reported as combined backend transfers for each participating RAID group. It implies that the

combined backend transfer is shared among each of the participating RAID groups.

The following table lists the details displayed in the Statistics section.
