5-4 Viewing Storage Pool Usage Status for Each RAID Level
In the Analyze Per RAID Level - Storage Pool subwindow, you can view the storage pool usage status (total
amount, allocated amount, unallocated amount, and usage rate) for each RAID level.
NOTE: Information not reflecting the latest status might be displayed when the storage subsystem
information is being updated. In such a case, a warning message appears, so wait a while and then re-
execute the view operation.
To view the storage pool usage status for each RAID level:
1. In the navigation frame, select Storage Pool. The Storage Pool subwindow is displayed in the method
frame. The Show Properties - Storage Pool subwindow is displayed in the information frame.
2. In the Storage Pool subwindow, choose Analyze Per RAID Level. The Analyze Per RAID Level - Storage
Pool subwindow is displayed in the information frame (see
Figure 5-9).
3. In the Analyze Per RAID Level - Storage Pool subwindow, specify the following items according to the
information you want to view.
View: This item lets you select either of the following items:
• Summary: Displays information on storage pools of the user group, including its child groups, to
which the logged-in user belongs. This is the initial screen of the Analyze Per RAID Level - Storage
Pool subwindow.
• Details: Displays information on storage pools of the groups under the user group to which the
logged-in user belongs. Different from Summary in that you can view only the parent group
information or the child group information rather than both at the same time.
When Details is selected (see
Figure 5-10), the User Group button used to specify a user group and
the Show Information button used to show information are displayed.
4. When Details is selected, set the User Group according to the contents that you want to display. You can
view information on storage pools of the specified user group, including the groups belonging to the user
group. Select a desired user group from the pull-down list.
5. After specifying User Group, click the Show Information button (see
Figure 5-11). The storage pool
information for each RAID level is displayed according to the following scope:
• Storage pool information for the child group contents of the user groups set by User Group
• Storage pool information set by User Group
• Storage information for child groups, including grandchild group content
IMPORTANT: In most cases, the sum of the storage sizes of parent, child, and grandchild groups
equals the sum of parent and child groups. Grandchild groups only affect storage size calculations
if there are multiple child groups with overlapping scopes of access. For details, see section
5-1 .
NOTE: When you click the Show Information button of Storage Pool Per RAID Level (Including
Size of Child Groups) - child-group-name, the Analyze Per RAID Level - Storage Pool subwindow
toggles between the child group storage pool information with and without grandchild group
contents.
