Vendor-specific capacity license criteria
The following vendor-specific descriptions list how raw capacity is calculated for certain specific vendors.
EMC Symmetrix Arrays:
Sum of the capacity of all physical disks from all array groups--no spares. : When viewing raw capacity in EMC Control Center, disk group 0 (hot spares) is not included in the total capacity calculation--accounting for the difference between the EMC and Capacity Manager reported capacity values.
EMC CLARiiON Arrays:
Sum of the capacity of all physical disks from all array groups--including spares (drives that are not allocated to an array group).
HDS Arrays:
Sum of capacity of all PDEVs from all array groups. Capacity Manager assumes that all PDEVs are part of an array group, so PDEVs that are marked as--Not included in an array group--are included in the capacity calculation. That is, no disks are treated as spares.
NetApp Arrays:
Sum of the capacity of all physical disks in the filer/array. For NetApp vFilers and V-Series, this represents only internal raw capacity and does not include vFiler capacity or gateway external capacity.
