Table 28 Pool Window Description (continued)

Description

Item

Protection: Data protection level

SATA-W/V: Write and Verify method on SATA drives

Standard: FC drives, flash drives, external volumes, or
V-VOLs

HP recommends that the data protection level be the
same for pool-VOLs in the same pool.

PG: parity group to which the pool-VOL belongs

Encryption: Status of volume encryption

Enable indicates the volume is encrypted.

Disable indicates the volume is not encrypted.

Hyphen (-) appears if the volume is other than internal
volumes.

Int. VOL Info: drive type of internal volumes. Nothing
will be displayed for FC drives. An asterisk ( * ) will be
displayed for a SATA drive. A dollar sign ( $ ) will be
displayed for an SSD drive. Three consecutive hyphens
(- - -) will display for an external volume.

Pool-VOLs with different drive types cannot be
intermixed in the same pool.

Ext. VOL Info: drive type of external volumes. Nothing
will be displayed for FC drives. An asterisk ( * ) will be
displayed for a SATA or BD drive. A dollar sign ( $ )
will be displayed for an SSD drive. Three consecutive
hyphens (-—) will display for an internal volume.

As a best practice, you should specify the same drive
type for all pool-VOLs registered in the same pool.

Cache Mode: if the volume is an external volume, cache
mode is displayed. This cache mode is specified when
the external volume is mapped. Pool-VOLs with different
cache modes cannot be intermixed in the same pool.

Total Capacity: total capacity of the pool-VOLs in the
pool

Used LDEVs: total number of the pool-VOLs in the pool

Remaining LDEVs: total number of the pool-VOLs that
you can add to the pool

Adds the selected volume(s) in the Free LDEVs list as pool
VOL(s) to the pool that you selected from the Pool tree.

Add Pool-VOL button

If you select a CU number from the drop-down list, the
volumes in the CU will be displayed in the Free LDEVs list.

LDKC drop-down list

Note that if you select an LDKC from the LDKC drop-down
list, only the CUs in the selected LDKC are displayed.

Among the volumes in the CU which is selected from the
CU drop-down list, the volumes that can be specified as

Free LDEVs list

pool-VOLs will be displayed. The following items are
displayed in the list.

LDKC:CU:LDEV: LDKC number, CU number, and LDEV
number of the volume

An LDEV number that ends with a # indicates that the
LDEV is an external volume (for example, 00:00:01#).
An LDEV number that ends with the letter X indicates
that the LDEV is a virtual volume used by XP Thin
Provisioning (for example, 00:00:00X). For details
regarding external volumes, see the HP
