The planning worksheets in this section provide space to collect the information needed to
install the system. The blank worksheets are also included on the
CD.
Before you begin the storage planning process with the customer, you must know the amount of
available disk space on their system. If you have not received information about available disk
space from the HP sales representative, use the capacity calculation spreadsheet for the
customer's array model to calculate how much space will be available for use.
This spreadsheet calculates the available disk space on the HP NAS 8000 HA system by
subtracting the space required for RAID redundancy and active spares from total raw capacity.
Note These spreadsheets are available at:

Note The numbers in these spreadsheets are approximate. Verify the actual available
space on the system when it is installed before building the storage system.
