Monitoring total THP-VOL subscription for a pool
You can configure the Subscription Limit of total THP-VOL capacity to pool capacity. This prevents
a new THP-VOL capacity that exceeds the configured subscription limit from being allocated and
is associated with the pool. If you specify more than 100% as the Subscription Limit or the
subscription limit is not set, you must monitor the free capacity of the pool because it is possible
that writes to the THP-VOLs may exceed pool capacity. For details about the Subscription Limit,
see
“Create Pools window” (page 269) .
The used value displayed on the cell for Current in the Subscription (%) is truncated after the decimal
point of the calculated value. Therefore, the actual percentage of THP-VOL assigned to the pool
may be larger than the value displayed on the window. If you create a new THP-VOL of the same
size as the existing THP-VOL, the larger size of capacity which is displayed on the Current cell is
necessary.
For example, if 262,668 Cyl V-VOL is assigned to a 41,574 cylinders pool, the capacity (%) is
calculated as follows:
(262668÷41574)x100=631.80....(%)
In this case, 631 (%) is displayed on the cell for Current in the Subscription (%). If you create a
new V-VOL of the same size as the existing V-VOL, 632 (%) or more remaining capacity is necessary.
