The following information is displayed:
Description
Field
Group
The type of physical disk, either Fibre Channel (FC), Near Line (NL),
or Solid State (SSD).
Device Type
Device Types
The disk speed.
Device RPM
NOTE:
The Device RPM number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives without
spinning media (SSD). 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.
Total Capacity
Amount of storage (in percent) consumed by the disk drive.
Allocated Percentage
Select the device type, Fibre Channel (FC), Near Line (NL), or Solid
State Device (SSD), or All. The capacity and capacity usage of the
selected device type is displayed in graphical form.
Device Type
Capacity
Displays the physical disks' free and used space (in GiB).
Overview
Displays the physical disks' fully provisioned space and thinly
provisioned space.
Volume Raw Space
The number of new physical disk alerts.

Viewing the Physical Disks Tab
To view the Physical Disk tab:
1.
Access the Physical Disks screen.
2.
Click the Physical Disks tab.
The Physical Disks tab can be filtered to display Summary, Capacity, Chunklet Usage, Inventory,
Environmental, State, and Paths information.
NOTE:
In the following sections, where shown, the Device RPM number does not represent a
rotational speed for the drives without spinning media (SSD). 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.
