Available Disk Space Spreadsheets

For the installation specialist: 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 NAS 8000 HA system by
subtracting the space required for RAID redundancy and active spares from total raw capacity.

Non-confidential Tables 3-6, below, can also be used to determine available disk space.
VA71xx supports up to 15 drives. VA7410 support up to 105 drives. You can extrapolate
higher capacity/drive count values from these tables.

space on the system when it is installed before building the storage system.
