Snapshot Reserve %

Refers to the amount of space, as a percentage of the volume size, to reserve for a snapshot.

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 or not a thin provisioning sends an initiator warning when passing the in-use warning threshold.

Thin Warning Hard Threshold %

Specifies whether or not a thin provisioning allows the volume to remain online after reaching the max-growth threshold.

Boot Volume

Specifies if the mapped volume is designated to be a boot volume.

Volume Folder

Specifies the name of an existing volume folder where a volume is to be created. In case the folder does not exist, a new folder is created.
