EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1: Taking Control of Your Datacenter
Virtual Provisioning of Your Symmetrix Devices
Verifying additional storage added to pools
To verify added storae to pools:
1. After the ETL scheduler is run, selects Analysis > SRM View from the StorageScope
menu.
2. From SRM View selects Thin Pools.
3. Reviews the %Subscribed and %Used for the thin pools and verifies that values
reflect the expanded pools.
For example, if a 300 GB thin pool has 100 GB of thin devices allocated to each of
the four hosts and each of the four hosts is using 50 GB of storage on the thin
devices, then the thin pool is 67 percent used (4x50/300) and 133 % Subscribed
or (4x100/300) 33 % OverSubscribed. After allocating an additional 200 GB of
storage to the pool (500 GB total) and running ETL, the SRM views now should
indicate the pool is 40 percent used (4x50/500) and 80 percent Subscribed
(4x100/500).
