Thin Min Reserve %

Sets the minimum reserved size for thin provisioned volume configured as percentage of total volume size. This value cannot be less than 10%.

Thin growth Warning %

Sets the warning threshold percentage for thin-provisioned volume. When the thin-reserve reaches this value, a warning message is displayed. The default value is 60%.

Thin growth Maximum %

Sets the maximum growth percentage for thin volume. When thin-reserve reaches this value, the volume is set to offline. The default value is 80%.

Thin warning on Threshold %

Specifies whether a thin provisioning sends an initiator warning when passing the in-use warning threshold.

Thin warning Hard Threshold %

Specifies whether a thin provisioning allows the volume to remain online after reaching the max-growth threshold.
