Field descriptions

Storage Pool Name
The name of the storage pool.
Storage Pool Type
The type of storage pool.
Device Class Name
The name of the device class that is assigned to the storage pool.
Storage Type
The type of storage that is defined for the storage pool. The following storage types can be shown:
DEVCLASS
The storage pool specifies a device class, which determines the type of device where data is stored.
DIRECTORY
The storage pool creates logical containers for data in file system directories.
CLOUD
The storage pool creates logical containers for data in a cloud environment.
Cloud Type
For cloud storage pools, the type of cloud platform.
Cloud URL
For cloud storage pools, the URL for accessing the on-premises private cloud or off-premises public cloud.
Cloud Identity
For cloud storage pools, the user ID for accessing the on-premises private cloud or off-premises public cloud.
Cloud Location
For cloud storage pools, indicates whether the cloud is an on-premises private cloud or off-premises public cloud.
Estimated Capacity
The estimated capacity of the storage pool in megabytes (M) or gigabytes (G).

For DISK devices, estimated capacity is the capacity of all volumes in the storage pool, including any volumes that are varied offline.

For sequential-access storage pools, estimated capacity is the total estimated space of all the sequential-access volumes in the storage pool, regardless of their access mode. At least one volume must be used in a sequential-access storage pool (either a scratch volume or a private volume) to calculate estimated capacity.

For tape and FILE devices, the estimated capacity for the storage pool includes the following factors:
  • The capacity of all the scratch volumes that the storage pool already acquired or can acquire. The number of scratch volumes is defined by the MAXSCRATCH parameter on the DEFINE STGPOOL or UPDATE STGPOOL command.
  • The total number of available scratch volumes in the tape library.
  • Estimated capacity is the smaller number between the MAXSCRATCH value and the total number of available scratch volumes in the tape library.
The calculations for estimated capacity depend on the available space of the storage for the device that is assigned to the storage pool. For FILE storage pools, the capacity for the storage pool is reduced if the available storage is less than the total estimated space of all the FILE volumes in the storage pool. The value that is displayed for capacity is reduced by the size of a FILE volume incrementally as the available space continues to decline.

For Centera, value represents the total capacity of the Centera storage device that is being queried.

Space Trigger Util
Utilization of the storage pool, as calculated by the storage pool space trigger, if any, for this storage pool. You can define space triggers for storage pools that are associated with DISK or FILE device types only.

For sequential access devices, space trigger utilization is expressed as follows as a percentage of the number of used bytes on each sequential access volume relative to the size of the volume and estimated capacity of all existing volumes in the storage pool. It does not include potential scratch volumes. Unlike the calculation for percent utilization, the calculation for space trigger utilization favors creation of new private file volumes by the space trigger over usage of more scratch volumes.

For disk devices, space trigger utilization is expressed as a percentage of the estimated capacity, including cached data. However, it excludes data that is on any volumes that are varied offline. The value for space trigger utilization can be higher than the value for percent migration if you issue QUERY STGPOOL while a file creation is in progress. The value for space trigger utilization is determined by the amount of space that is allocated while the transaction is in progress. The value for percent migration represents only the space that is occupied by committed files. At the end of the transaction, these values are synchronized.

The value for space trigger utilization includes cached data on disk volumes. Therefore, when cache is enabled and migration occurs, the value remains the same because the migrated data remains on the volume as cached data. The value decreases only when the cached data expires or when the space that cached files occupy must be used for noncached files.

Pct Util
An estimate of the utilization of the storage pool, as a percentage.

For sequential access devices, it is a percentage of the number of active bytes on each sequential access volume and the estimated capacity of all volumes in the storage pool. The percentage includes the number of potential scratch volumes that might be allocated.

For disk devices, it is a percentage of the estimated capacity, including cached data and data that is on any volumes that are varied offline. The value for Pct Util can be higher than the value for Pct Migr if you issue this command while a file creation transaction is in progress. The value for Pct Util is determined by the amount of space that is allocated, while the transaction is in progress. The value for Pct Migr represents only the space that is occupied by committed files. At the end of the transaction, these values become synchronized.

The Pct Util value includes cached data on disk volumes. Therefore, when cache is enabled and migration occurs, the Pct Util value remains the same because the migrated data remains on the volume as cached data. The Pct Util value decreases only when the cached data expires or when the space that cached files occupy must be used for noncached files.

For Centera, this represents an estimate of the utilization of the entire Centera storage device, not the storage pool that is being queried.

Pct Migr (primary storage pools only)
An estimate of the percentage of data in the storage pool that can be migrated. The server uses this value and the high and low migration thresholds to determine when to start and stop migration.

For random-access disk devices, this value is specified as a percentage of the value for the estimated capacity, excluding cached data, but including data on any volumes varied offline.

For sequential-access disk devices, this value is specified as a percentage of the value for the estimated capacity. The value includes the capacity of all the scratch volumes that are specified for the pool. For other types of sequential-access devices, this value is the percentage of the total number of volumes in the pool that contain at least one byte of active data. The total number of volumes includes the maximum number of scratch volumes.

The Pct Util value includes cached data on a volume; the Pct Migr value excludes cached data. Therefore, when cache is enabled and migration occurs, the Pct Migr value decreases but the Pct Util value remains the same because the migrated data remains on the volume as cached data. The Pct Util value decreases only when the cached data expires or when the space that cached files occupy must be used for noncached files.

Pct Logical
The logical occupancy of the storage pool as a percentage of the total occupancy. Logical occupancy is space that is occupied by client files that might or might not be part of an aggregate. A Pct Logical value less than 100% indicates that there is vacant space within aggregates in the storage pool.
High Mig Pct (primary storage pools only)
The high migration threshold, which specifies when the server can begin migration for the storage pool. The server starts migration processes when capacity utilization reaches this threshold.
Low Mig Pct (primary storage pools only)
The low migration threshold, which specifies when the server can stop migration for the storage pool. The server stops migration processes when capacity utilization reaches this threshold.
Migration Delay (primary storage pools only)
The minimum number of days that a file must remain in a storage pool before the server can migrate the file to the next storage pool. For a disk storage pool, the days are counted from the time that the file was stored in the storage pool or last retrieved by a client. For a sequential access storage pool, the days are counted from the time that the file was stored in the storage pool.
Migration Continue (primary storage pools only)
Whether the server continues to migrate files to the next storage pool even if the files have not been in the pool for the number of days that are specified by the migration delay.
Migration Processes

Reclamation Processes
The number of parallel processes that are used for reclaiming the volumes in a sequential access primary or copy storage pool.
Next Storage Pool (primary storage pools only)
The storage pool that is the destination for data that is migrated from this storage pool.
Reclaim Storage Pool (primary, sequential access storage pools only)
If specified, the storage pool that is the destination for data that is moved from volumes during reclamation processing. If no pool is specified, by default reclamation processing moves data only among volumes within the same storage pool.
Maximum Size Threshold (primary storage pools only)
The maximum size of files that might be stored in the storage pool.
Access

Whether collocation is disabled or enabled. If collocation is disabled, the value of this field is No. If collocation is enabled, the possible values are Group, Node, and File space.
Reclamation Threshold (sequential access storage pools only)
The threshold that determines when volumes in a storage pool are reclaimed. The server compares the percentage of reclaimable space on a volume to this value to determine whether reclamation is necessary.

Migration in Progress? (primary storage pools only)
Whether at least one migration process is active for the storage pool.
Amount Migrated (MB) (primary storage pools only)
The amount of data, in megabytes, that is migrated, if migration is in progress. If migration is not in progress, this value indicates the amount of data that was migrated during the last migration. When multiple, parallel migration processes are used for the storage pool, this value indicates the total amount of data that is migrated by all processes.
Elapsed Migration Time (seconds) (primary storage pools only)
The amount of time that elapsed since migration began, if migration is active. If migration is not active, this value indicates the amount of time that is required to complete the last migration. When multiple, parallel migration processes are used for the storage pool, this value indicates the total time from the beginning of the first process until the completion of the last process.

Compressed
Whether the storage pool is compressed.
Additional space for protected data

The amount of space, in MB, that is used to protect data from remote servers. This is the total amount of space used for data received from other servers as a result of running the PROTECT STGPOOL command.

After the PROTECT STGPOOL command is run, the data is not assigned to a node. However, if you run node replication on some or all nodes, then the data is assigned to the nodes and is no longer assigned to the additional space for protected data.

If you do not run node replication, then the data received (after the PROTECT STGPOOL command is run) remains assigned to the additional space for protected data.

Total Unused Pending Space
