Allocated but Unused LUNs

Explore your data center using customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. Use Search to find reports, templates and dashboards across the portal.

Use the Reports tab to examine the catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:

Capacity Manager > Available or Reclaimable Storage > Allocated but Unused LUNs

These are LUNs that have been assigned to a host, but the host has not been placed into a volume group, or a partition has not been created. The array has created the LUN and the storage path exists, making the host and host port information available to Capacity Manager. However, the host storage details--disks, partitions, and volume groups--are not available for the host associated with the storage path.

For HP 3PAR: LUNs refer to Virtual Volumes and Volume Groups refer to Common Provisioning Groups.

Note:

The list of Allocated, but unused LUNs includes LUNs that have been allocated, discovered, but not yet mounted. The list of Allocated, but undiscovered LUNs includes LUNs hat have been allocated, but undiscovered.

Table: Alloccated but Unused LUNs

Column name

Description

Name

Name of the LUN that has been allocated, but unused. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

RAID Type

The RAID level on the LUN. When the RAID type is Disk, there is no RAID protection. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Array Group

The group to which the array belongs.

Storage Array

The storage array for this LUN. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Capacity

The total capacity (used and unused) of the LUN. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Estimated Used

LUN estimated used. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Estimated Available

Estimated available LUN storage. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Mount Point Used

The amount of storage used by each mount point.

Host

The name of the host to which the LUN was allocated. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Host LUN

The host LUN. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Mount Point

The host's filesystem mount point for this LUN. It is possible to have zero mount points and filesystems, in the scenario where a LUN has been allocated to the host, but the host has not yet made use of it by creating a filesystem and mounting it. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Filesystem

The host's filesystem or drive name to which the LUN maps. LUNs simply appear as disks to hosts. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Volume Group

The logical collection or volume group to which the volume belongs. For HP 3PAR: Volume group refers to Common Provisioning Group (CPG).

Host Storage Domain

The name of the host storage domain, a logical group of LUNs that can be accessed by multiple hosts through the same physical storage port, with each host accessing its unique LUN. For security purposes, LUN masking is also coupled with this capability. A host storage domain is Hitachi's name for multi-hosted storage capability. For HP 3PAR: LUN refers to Virtual Volume (VV).

Array Port WWN

Array port world wide name.
