Virtual disk capacity
HP P6000 Command View uses the following capacity-related terms for virtual disks, including
containers, mirrorclones, snapclones, and snapshots. Capacity measures of MB, GB and TB are
binary values. See
Storage capacity FAQ .
•
Requested capacity. The amount of space (size) that a user has requested for the virtual disk.
•
Allocated capacity. The amount of space that the storage system has currently allocated for
the virtual disk.
In most cases the requested capacity and the allocated capacity are the same. However, when a
user has requested more space for a virtual disk than is currently available in the virtual disk's disk
group the allocated capacity will be less than the requested capacity.
