12. Growth Increment* - Select the Enabled checkbox, enter the appropriate value, and select the

unit (MiB, GiB, TiB) from the list. (Equivalent to using the –sdgs argument with the CLI command
createcpg

)

13. Growth Limit* - Select the Enabled checkbox, enter the appropriate value, and select the unit

(MiB, GiB, TiB) from the list. (Equivalent to using the –sdgs argument with the CLI command
createcpg

)

CAUTION:

For some CPGs, especially those that use small physical disks such as SSDs, the

additional buffer space in the CPG might be too large to be left unused. To minimize the buffer
space, to set the CPG growth limit to the smallest possible value. However, if you do so, you
should make sure that the CPG is not the default CPG for snapshot or base TPVV allocation
(the CPGs shown in the showvv -cpgalloc CLI command). The default CPG for snapshot
or base TPVV allocation should always be one that has sufficient room to grow.

NOTE:

For SSD CPGs that are not used for automatic growth, only Adaptive Optimization

movement, it is recommended that you decrease the growth limit for SSD CPGs to the smallest
possible amount, except in the case where the CPG is the default for snapshot or base TPVV
allocation as noted in the following caution.

14. Growth Warning* - Select the Enabled checkbox, enter the appropriate value, and select the

unit (MiB, GiB, TiB) from the list. (Equivalent to using the –sdgsw argument with the CLI
command createcpg)

NOTE:

If the CPG is part of an AO configuration, adaptive optimization uses the warning

limit of a CPG as a space limit for new data movements to that tier.
