Capacity Manager > Available or Reclaimable Storage > Unused Partitions/Logical Volumes

This report lists all hosts with logical volumes that have no mounted filesystems. A logical volume may have been created in the volume group, but the logical volume is not being used by the host. These unused volumes provide available storage.

In the report's scope selector, the Host Type option can be used to include virtual hosts in this host-based report: VM Server, VM Guest, VIO Server, VIO Guest, Oracle Container, Oracle Zone, Hyper-V Server, Hyper-V Guest, or Other. Note that host disks, not volume groups, are displayed for virtual hosts. Also, there are no unused disks for VM Guests, as virtual disks are created by the VM Guest.
