Instructions
Scenario
One or more thin volumes are allocated.
Impact
Raw capacity allocated for thin volumes cannot be monitored using REST API.
Root Cause
The raw thin-capacity usage statistic counter is not exposed using REST API.
Workaround
In medium-granularity storage pools, raw thin-capacity usage can be derived from net thin-capacity usage statistics.
To calculate the raw thin-capacity usage:
- Retrieve the net thin-capacity usage statistic,
netThinUserDataCapacityInKb. - Multiply the returned value by two.
Impacted Versions
PowerFlex versions 3.5 to 3.5.1.2
Fixed in Version
PowerFlex 3.5.1.3
Raw thin-capacity usage statistics are exposed as thinUserDataCapacityInKb.
