View: This item lets you select either of the following items:
•
Summary: Displays information on storage pools of the user group, including its child groups, to
which the logged-in user belongs. This is the initial screen of the Analyze Per RAID Level - Storage
Pool subwindow.
•

Storage information for child groups, including grandchild group content
IMPORTANT:
In most cases, the sum of the storage sizes of parent, child, and grandchild groups
equals the sum of parent and child groups. Grandchild groups only affect storage size calculations
if there are multiple child groups with overlapping scopes of access. For details, see section
NOTE:
When you click the Show Information button of Storage Pool Per RAID Level (Including
Size of Child Groups) - child-group-name, the Analyze Per RAID Level - Storage Pool subwindow
toggles between the child group storage pool information with and without grandchild group
contents.
