Optimizing the V-VOL Management Area or Pool Management Block
This section describes how to optimize the whole V-VOL management area or the pool management
block in the V-VOL management area.
Optimizing the V-VOL Management Area
By optimizing the whole V-VOL management area, the V-VOL management area can be used much
more efficiently. Therefore, you will be able to create a pool whose capacity is larger than before
optimizing, or you will be able to create more pools compared to before the optimization.
You need to delete all pools in the storage system before optimizing the V-VOL management area.
If pools exist in the storage system, only the pool management block will be optimized instead of
the whole V-VOL management area.
To optimize the V-VOL management area:
1. Change the mode of the Remote Web Console to Modify.
If the mode is already changed to Modify, you can skip this step. For information on how to
change the mode, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User
Guide.
