Glossary
CPG Common Provisioning Group - defines the Logical Disk creation characteristics, such as RAID
type, set size, disk type for chunklet selection, plus total space warning and limit points. A CPG
creates a virtual pool of LDs that allows Volumes to share resources and to allocate space on
demand. A volume created from a CPG can automatically be grown on demand by mapping
new regions from the LDs associated with the CPG. Common provisioning groups and their
importance to thin provisioning will be discussed in more detail in the next section.
