Calculating the number of remaining cache management devices

Use this formula to calculate the number of remaining cache management

devices.

remaining-cache-management-devices

 = 

available-cache-management-

devices

 - 

cache-management-devices-being-used

The number of available cache management devices depends on the storage
system:
• VSP G200: 3,840
• VSP G400, G600 or VSP F400, F600: 7,936
• VSP G800 or VSP F800: 32,512
• VSP G1000, G1500, and VSP F1500: 65,280

Workflow for fixing errors when pool-related SIMs are

reported

If the pool capacity ensured for writing exceeded the threshold, a pool was

blocked, or there is no free space in shared memory, Service Information

Messages (SIMs) below are issued. This section provides information about

SIMs related to Thin Image pools. For SIMs related to DP pools, and for

details about the pool usage capacity and the capacity ensured for writing,

see the
