In the previous figure, the VIS6000 is a newly-added device.
8.1.3 Capacity Planning
This section introduces the requirement analysis and capacity planning.
The VIS6000 takes over the services of the original arrays and maps LUNs to hosts. The newly-
added array has the same capacity planning with the original storage arrays.
8.1.4 Service Planning
This section introduces the service planning.
Service planning covers storage array planning, VIS6000, and host.
Storage Array Planning
The newly-added VIS6000 (for the network planning and the network environment of the newly-
added VIS6000, see
) consolidates the 60 TB capacity of the two storage arrays.
Service Planning of the VIS6000
Create a storage pool of 60 TB through the thin provisioning function of the VIS6000. Create a
100 TB thin provisioning volume in the storage pool.

HOST1_VOL

HOST2_VOL

HOST3_VOL
Host Planning
Map HOST1_VOL, HOST2_VOL, and HOST3_VOL respectively to HOST1, HOST2, and
HOST3.
The storage pool of the VIS6000 can dynamically assign storage space for these volumes
according to the user's services. The threshold of the storage pool is set to 50 TB according to
the user's service traffic. When the occupied capacity (the sum of data on the three hosts) reaches
the threshold, the system prompts the user to install a new storage array to meet increasing
demands.
