HP P6000 Dynamic Capacity Management workarounds and limitations
This section describes HP P6000 Dynamic Capacity Management (DC-Management) workarounds
and limitations.
Using the HP P6000 DC-Management analysis tool
The HP P6000 DC-Management analysis tool is intended for use only with host volumes that support
DC-Management. However, the tool can be invoked for any host volumes that appear in the replication
manager GUI, which allows you to generate reports regardless of whether or not DC-Management is
supported on the operating system. Reports for operating systems not supported by DC-Management
are for informational purposes only and cannot be used to estimate DC-Management policy settings.
See the HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Compatibility Reference for operating systems supported
by DC-Management.
