Note
The maximum capacity of volume that can be created is the largest contiguous free space in the RAID group. When fragmentation has occurred in the RAID group, the largest contiguous free space is less than the total free capacity of the RAID group.
If the volume cannot be created because of insufficient free capacity of the RAID group, even though you specified capacity less than the total free capacity of RAID group, use the ETERNUS Web GUI to verify the free space of the RAID group.
In the following cases, the maximum number of volumes cannot be created.
There is a Thin Provisioning Pool in the storage device.
There is a concatenation volume in the storage device.
There is a REC Disk buffer in the storage device.
There is a volume which is executing RAID Migration.
There is a volume which is executing Thin Provisioning Volume balancing.
