IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Windows, Version 4.1

Determining managed storage capacity

You can track the capacity of managed storage assets. This information can be helpful with storage planning during activities such as license renewal.

About this task

Typically there is a difference between the capacity that is used by server data and the capacity of the volume that contains that data. For example, a set of databases might require a capacity of 1 GB and are on a 10-GB volume. When a snapshot of the volume is performed, the IBM® Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager managed capacity measurement is 10 GB.
