Description

Field

Group

NOTE:

If the license is limited for the number of disk drives in an array, the licensed limit is

displayed next to the Device Types group heading.

Device Types

The type of physical disk, either Fast Class (FC), Near Line (NL), or
Solid State (SSD).

Device Type

The disk speed, in thousands of RPM.

Device RPM

NOTE:

The Device RPM number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives without

spinning media (SSDs). It is meant as a rough estimation of the performance difference between
the drive and the other drives in the system. For FC and NL drives, the number corresponds to
both a performance measure and actual rotational speed. For an SSD drive, the number is to
be treated as relative performance benchmark that takes into account in I/O per second,
bandwidth, and the access time.

The disk size in GiB.

Device Size

The number of each type of disk.

Count

The total capacity (in GiB) for each type of disk.
