Hi Everyone,
I have a question about the vv space allocation. The storage is 3par8400. It only has some SSD disks and 15K rpm SAS disks. Recently I add 6 10K rpm SAS disks in the ss8400, and I didn't do the tunesys job. Here is the question, I found the chunklets in the 10K SAS disks have been used.
SS8400-2 cli% showpd -c -p -rpm 10
-------- Normal Chunklets -------- ---- Spare Chunklets ----
- Used -- -------- Unused -------- - Used - ---- Unused ----

So, I check one of the pd. Found there are VVs in the pd.
SS8400-2 cli% showpdvv 60
PDId CagePos Type RPM VVId VVName VVSp
60 0:22:0 FC 10 1 .srdata usr
60 0:22:0 FC 10 28 copyvmwaredata1_5T usr
60 0:22:0 FC 10 28 copyvmwaredata1_5T adm
60 0:22:0 FC 10 28 copyvmwaredata1_5T snp
60 0:22:0 FC 10 84 copyvmwaredata2_5T usr
60 0:22:0 FC 10 84 copyvmwaredata2_5T adm
60 0:22:0 FC 10 84 copyvmwaredata2_5T snp
Here is the vv and cpg information. These VVs are in the FC_r5 CPG.
SS8400-2 cli% showvvcpg
-------(MB)-------- -New (MB)--
Name CPG Adm Snp Usr Adm Snp Usr
admin --- 0 0 10240 0 0 0
.srdata --- 0 0 81920 0 0 0

copyvmwareoracle_1.5T SSD_r5 1152 16256 1536000 0 0 0
But the CPG in defined with only 15K rpm disks when creating. So how does these VVs use the undefined 10k PD?
SS8400-2 cli% showcpg -sdg

Re: how does the VV go into the undefined PD?
Hi dennischen,
This is a 3PAR 8400 2N correct?
What is the 3PAR OS version?
What is the available free space on the 15K SAS PDs?

Re: how does the VV go into the undefined PD?
Hey,
Yes, it is a two node 8400. I cannot get the OS version now....But the 15K SAS PDs are full, no free space..
So when the PDs has no free space. The VVs will allocate the another PDs? how is rules. What if there is some SATA disks availale.

Yes, these are called desparation grows and it will pick other devtypes, etc.
> What if there is some SATA disks availale.
No SATAs, just SAS. Did you mean NL? Yes, it will finally chose them too.

Re: how does the VV go into the undefined PD?
@dennischen: do you know any official guides or white paper
No, I did find a mention of a fix in 3.1.3 MU3 RN
73521 The compactcpg command now does not move data into non-matching LDs.
If there are LDs that do not match the CPG's growth characteristics, most likely generated due to desperation grows, then do not move data from LDs that match the CPG's growth characteristics when performing a compactcpg.
Any alerts saying it did a desperation grow?
