Unisphere on VMAX - Capacities

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding certain things on Unisphere.

I have a VMAX 20K where LUNs are configured as Thin.

Now i want to figure out how much actual capacity im consuming from my VMAX. I have 3 tiers (SSD, FC, SATA) configued with FAST VP.

I think if i can figure out the exact meanings of the below properties, i can have a clear idea:

- Total Capacity

- Free Capacity

- % Allocated

- Maximum Subscription

- % Subscription

- Enabled Capacity

- Allocated Capacity

As you can see, these are ALOT of capacity parameters to grasp,but what i am interested in is:

- Total Physical Usable Capacity

- Total Physical Free Capacity

- Total THIN Free Capacity

- Total Physical Used Capacity

- Total ALLOCATED capacity (presented to hosts.. what the hosts can see)

I hope im making sense here. Appreciate all the help!
