• total
This indicates the total capacity (GB) of all the pools in use and the pools that can be created.
The capacity of the pools that can be created is derived from the available capacity of the
shared memory. Available pool capacity decreases when a V-VOL is added and increases
when a V-VOL is deleted.
Caution:
The value displayed for Total Capacity in the Pool Information box and the value
displayed for Pool Mng. Capacity : used are approximately equal, but there may be some
difference. Also note that even if the value displayed for Total Capacity in the Pool Information
box is updated when the pool-VOLs are added to or deleted from the pool, the value displayed
for Pool Mng. Block used capacity will not be updated until you click Apply.
