HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.6.1-00 CLI Reference Guide

• When a THP pool is specified, the over-provisioning percent must be less than the over provisioning
limit threshold.
NOTE:
Note the following when using this command with XP24000/XP20000:
• HP recommends that you do not create more than one THP volume in a virtual parity group. Also,
if the microcode version is 60-04-XX-XX/XX or later and the system option 726 is set to ON,
you cannot create more than one THP volume in a virtual parity group.
• Because a THP volume management area is created, you cannot create THP volumes that have a
total capacity equal to the unused capacity in the virtual parity group.
• To create THP volume within an existing virtual parity group, you must have Open Volume Man-
agement installed in the storage system.
• If you execute this command when the threshold values related to the over-provisioning percent
(the over provisioning warning threshold and over provisioning limit threshold) are set, make sure
that the Device Manager server database is consistent. These threshold values are specific thresholds
managed by the Device Manager server. If the over-provisioning percent information that has
been obtained by Device Manager does not match the actual over-provisioning percent, the system's
determination of whether the over provisioning warning threshold and over provisioning limit
threshold values have been exceeded might be incorrect.
For details about the following conditions, see the Thin Provisioning documentation:
• The minimum and maximum capacities of THP/Smart volumes
• The number of THP/Smart volumes that you can create in a single virtual parity group
• The number of THP/Smart volumes that you can assign to a single THP/Smart pool
• The number of virtual parity groups that you can create under a single disk controller
