Hi, apologies but is very hard to follow these calculations criteria.
I have 1 Disk Group in RAID 5 assigned to POOL A made of 8*600GB disks, totals up to ~4.2TB Netto.
From This POOL A we publish a Volume of 3593.9 GB as LUN 1 to VMware and we use ~70% of that.
Disk Group 1 shows 1542.5GB free.
Can you tell me why, it is not possible to thick provision this Volume?
It is hard to follow the new way HP has obliged us to use for the virtual arrays, the fact the linear capability was removed is very annoying and even more annoying is that we cannot add single disks to expand capacity.
