The total capacity of your HP Storage System is divided into the following areas:
•
Exchange—Storage allocated to host Exchange storage group components.
•
Shared Folders—Storage allocated to host shared folders.
•
SQL Server—Storage allocated to host SQL Server database components.
•
User-defined—Storage allocated to host user-defined applications.
•
Data Protection — Storage allocated to host snapshots, backups, and replicated data.
•
Unallocated—Unused storage that is not allocated.
The unallocated space value is the total unused space on your HP Storage System that has
not been allocated to host application or shared folder storage. Unallocated storage includes
raw (unconfigured) storage and unused configured storage (logical disks).
•
Unmanaged—Storage used by data that is not managed by ASM.
The unmanaged value is the total storage being used to store data not managed by ASM,
such as application or shared folder data no longer managed by ASM because the application
components or shared folder was removed from view (see
“Removing application areas from
) and any other data saved on your HP Storage System that is not managed
by ASM.
NOTE:
Logical disks (LUNs) being used to store application data or shared folders cannot be
grown (increased in size) by ASM using space on unused logical disks (configured storage); they
can only be grown using raw storage.
Unused logical disks are reallocated by ASM when an unhosted application component, shared
folder, or user-defined application's storage is hosted using a storage-allocation wizard and the
advanced configuration settings selected in the wizard match those of the unused logical disk. You
can find the advanced configuration settings and capacities of unused (and used) logical disks on
the Properties window for each logical disk (see
“Accessing properties for HP Storage System
).
Automated Storage Manager Alerts
ASM generates an alert when the status of an application area or storage area changes from OK
to Warning or Critical. The alerts describe the condition that caused the storage status to change.
When an alert is generated, a One or more alerts exist message appears in the ASM content
pane. Click the message to display a list of current ASM alerts.
NOTE:
ASM rolls up any status alert to the highest level. For instance, if a shared folder has
surpassed its percent full warning threshold and exceeded its allocated storage space, a warning
icon is shown on the shared folders pool icon. Likewise, if a critical status exists in an Exchange
mail store, the critical icon is also shown on the Exchange storage group icon.
