•Array Disk Type: Array disk type and characteristics (for example, HP_LHN_VOLUME, HP_EVA_SNAPSHOT, or HP_XP_THIN_PROVISIONED_VOLUME)
•Storage Pool
◦P9000/XP: Disk group or storage pool used for allocating storage to the disk. This might be a P9000 or XP Thin Provisioning pool, a P9000 or XP Snapshot pool, an internal parity group, or an external group.
◦P6000 EVA: Disk group where the vdisk is located.
This value is displayed only when demand allocated snapshots are used. For other volume types, no value is displayed.
◦P4000: Name of the cluster.
◦P2000/MSA2000: Name of the vdisk or snap pool where the volume is located.
•Storage Pool Available Capacity
◦P9000/XP: P9000 or XP Thin Provisioning pool capacity.
◦P6000 EVA: Unallocated space in the storage pool that can be used to meet storage needs for a demand allocated snapshot. For all other volume types, no value is displayed. The calculation of this value assumes that all disk space uses the same RAID type as this volume.
◦P4000: Unallocated space in the storage pool (cluster) that can be used to meet storage needs for a snapshot or
◦P2000/MSA2000: Unallocated space in the storage pool (cluster) that can be used to meet storage needs for a snapshot or
•Array Disk Emulation Type (P9000 and XP arrays only): LDEV emulation type.
•Replicated: Specifies whether the disk is replicated
