Measures reported by VioStoragePoolTest
You can create a logical volume storage pool on a Virtual I/O Server using the Hardware Management Console or the mksp and mkbdsp commands.
Logical volume storage pools are volume groups, which are collections of one or more physical volumes.
The physical volumes that comprise a logical volume storage pool can be of varying sizes and types.
Since critical data is stored and key administrative operations are performed on the physical volumes, it is imperative that the storage pools have sufficient space to handle the current and anticipated data and operational load. The VioStoragePoolTest monitors how each storage pool utilizes the space allocated to it, and proactively alerts you to potential space crunches.

Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Total_size |
The total size of this storage pool |
MB |
|
| Allocated_size |
The minimum allocation size of this storage pool |
MB |
|
| Used_size |
The amount of space in this pool that is currently being utilized |
MB |
Ideally, this value should be low.
|
| Free_size |
The currently available space in this pool |
MB |
|
| Pool_Utilization |
The percentage of space in this pool that is currently in use |
Percent |
A very high value or a value close to 100% indicates that the pool is rapidly running out of space. You may want to allocate more space to the pool by say, adding more physical volumes to it.
|
| Free_pool_percentage |
The percentage of space in this pool that is currently free |
Percent |
A very low value of this measure or a value close to 100% indicates that the pool is rapidly running out of space. You may want to allocate more space to the pool by say, adding more physical volumes to it.
