NOTE: This display applies only to the space in the pool that is available for borrowing, not to
all
of the space in the
pool. Volume reserve and storage containers do not appear in the tables because that space cannot be borrowed.
Click the Total borrowed space link from either the Group Disk Space panel or the Pool Disk Space panel.
You can also see these statistics through several CLI commands. Refer to the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager CLI Reference Guide
for more information.
