Post subject: | How much space is actually available to CPG |
Hello Newbie here! I have a 7400 with 36 NL disks in three cages. I have a cpg called NL_r6 cli% showcpg -d -----------------(MB)------------------ -Volumes- -Usage- ------ Usr ------ -- Snp --- -- Adm --- --- LD ---- --RC_Usage-- Id Name Warn% VVs TPVVs Usr Snp Total Used Total Used Total Used Usr Snp Adm Usr Snp 0 NL_r1 - 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 NL_r6 - 9 0 9 0 17866752 17825792 0 0 0 0 33 0 0 0 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 total 9 0 17866752 17825792 0 0 0 0 33 0 0 0 0 showcpg is showing that I have used all the space available... but I have 36TB at RAID 6 so I'm expecting around 31.5 TB usable...So why only 17.8 TB available in the CPG??? According to the showsys below there is 7.6 TB Free (Initialised)...So why can I not see that capacity in the cpg? Many Thanks in advance for any help Cheers Paul cli% showsys -space -devtype NL ---------System Capacity (MB)---------- Total Capacity : 33251328 Allocated : 25586688 Volumes : 23420928 Non-CPGs : 0 User : 0 Snapshot : 0 Admin : 0 CPGs (TPVVs & CPVVs) : 23420928 User : 23420928 Used : 23368260 Unused : 52668 Snapshot : 0 Used : 0 Unused : 0 Admin : 0 Used : 0 Unused : 0 Unmapped : 0 System : 2165760 Internal : 318464 Spare : 1847296 Used : 0 Unused : 1847296 Free : 7664640 Initialized : 7664640 Uninitialized : 0 Unavailable : 0 Failed : 0 |

Hi a CPG will grow and consume space as it's needed. The HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Concepts Guide explains it like this "As volumes that draw from a CPG require additional storage, the system automatically creates additional logical disks according to the CPG's growth increment. The default and minimum growth increments vary according to the number of controller nodes in the system." The figure you are looking at is telling you how much of the space currently allocated to the CPG has been used. To find how much space it has left to grow into run the following from the CLI: showspace -cpg cpgname The results with give you an estimated raw space free and logical disk free which is probably the most useful figure as it shows the space available accounting for your raid level etc |
