About releasing pages in a THP V-VOL
Releasing pages in a THP V-VOL frees up pool capacity. When a page in the THP V-VOL contains
zero data, the free capacity of a pool increases after the pages are released. You can perform
the operation to reclaim zero pages on each V-VOL and monitor progress in Remote Web Console.
For details, see
“View Pool Management Status window” (page 350) . If you stop the operation to
reclaim zero pages, the zero pages that have been reclaimed cannot be restored.
