Metric | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
E tot vcap | 40 GiB | This represents the virtual capacity of the VDisk. |
E tot SEV save | 17.88 GiB | This indicates the savings achieved through thin provisioning. |
E % tot SEV save | 44.71% | The percentage savings from thin provisioning. |
Virtual Thin Capacity | 22.12 GiB | The capacity after thin provisioning savings. |
E tot COMP save | 12.84 GiB | This indicates the savings achieved through compression. |
E % COMP save | 58.05% | This represents the savings from compression as a percentage of the thin-provisioned capacity. |
E % COMP size | 41.95% | This represents the overall savings as a percentage of the total virtual capacity due to compression. |

Thin Provisioning Savings Calculation | |
Percentage savings | 44.71% |
Total savings | 40 GiB * 44.71 / 100 = 17.88 GiB |
Total Thin-provisioned Virtual Capacity | |
Calculation | 40 GiB - 17.88 GiB = 22.12 GiB |
Compression Savings | Given: 12.84 GiB |
Compression Efficiency Percentage | |
Calculation | 12.84 GiB / 22.12 GiB * 100 = 58.05% |
Compression Savings Percentage | |
Calculation | 12.84 GiB / 40 GiB * 100 = 32.1% |
