The used pool capacity is the total amount of the mapped capacity and the reserved page capacity of each V-VOL. The mapped capacity is the total amount of pages that contain user data and the control information on each V-VOL. The reserved page is only available for a V-VOL for which the full allocation setting is enabled. The pool reserved page capacity is the total amount of pages reserved on each V-VOL.

The full allocation setting for a V-VOL cannot be changed on the following V-VOLs:

  • Deduplication system data volumes
  • DRS-VOLs

You can reclaim zero pages and release the appropriate pages if the status of all data in the pages in the V-VOL reads no logical records (referred to as zero page). The free capacity of a pool increases after the pages are released.
