System

From the System panel, you can monitor capacity and view details on control and expansion enclosures and various hardware components of the system.

Under the system view, the capacity utilization is displayed for the entire system. The following types of capacity are represented on this view:

Allocated
Indicates the amount of capacity that has been allocated to volumes on the system, which cannot exceed the physical capacity.
Physical
Indicates the total amount of capacity that is available on the entire system, including all attached and detected expansion enclosures.
Over Provisioned
Indicates the system has exceeded the amount of currently available physical storage, due to either thin-provisioning or compression savings.
Total Virtual Savings
Indicates the amount of storage currently saved by volumes.
Thin-provisioning Savings
Indicates the sum of non-compression allocated storage and the amount of data on compressed volumes.
No Storage Configured
Indicates that physical storage has not been configured. To configure storage, select Pools > MDisk by Pools and select Add Storage.

The system uses base-2 (binary numeral) as capacity indicators for volumes, drives, and other system objects. The management GUI and the command-line interface (CLI) use different abbreviations to indicate capacity, but the value for these capacity indicators is the same.

The following table displays the differences in how capacity indicators are displayed in the management GUI and the CLI.
