Calculating Parallel Access Volumes used capacity

The storage system recalculates the PAV used capacity after any PAV operation, such as:
1. Adding aliases to a base volume that has no aliases assigned.
2. Removing all aliases from a base volume or an entire CU.
NOTE: A base volume without assigned aliases is not counted as part of the used capacity. However,
when Super PAV is enabled using the Remote Web Console, base volumes are added as part of the
used capacity regardless of whether or not alias volumes are contained in CUs.
3. Uninstalling base volumes using VLVI or External Storage.
4. Assigning the first alias to a base volume by Dynamic PAV, HPAV, or Super PAV.
The calculated used capacity is the total of the following:
• Base volume capacity that aliases are assigned to using Remote Web Console.
• Base volumes which are accessed with alias volumes using Dynamic PAV, HPAV, or Super PAV.
