3PAR Concepts Overview
• PD (Physical Disk)
• Chunklet
• Wide Striping
• Virtual Volume
• Set Size
• Step Size
• Allocation Unit Size
• Virtual LUN
• CPG (Common Provisioning Group)
• Region
• Host
• VV Set, Host Set, (Autonomic Group)
• Inform Management Console (IMC)
*There will be a quiz.
Physical Disk – Chunklets (256 MB)
C = 256 MB Data Chunklet
SC = 256 MB Spare Chunklet

Each InServ Physical disk is initialized with data chunklets and spare chunklets
Why are Chunklets so Important?
• Same drive spindle can service many different LUNS, and many different RAID types at the same time
• Enables array to be managed by policy, not by administrative planning
• Drives up utilization rate of the disks (no leftover space)
• Improved High Availability and Sparing
• Enables easy mobility between physical disks, RAID types, service levels

Common Provisioning Groups (CPG)
• CPGs are FUNDAMENTAL to administering 3PAR.• CPGs automatically provision Logical Disk capacity on demand• CPGs are the combination of a RAID type and a drive type
which equals SERVICE LEVEL and AVAILABILITY LEVEL.• CPGs have many functions:
• They are the policies by which free chunklets are assembled into logical disks.
• They are a container for existing volumes and used for reporting• They are the basis for service levels and our optimization products.

Recovery Manager
• Traditional tape backup solutions find it almost impossible to complete backup and recovery within required time frames
• Competing Snapshot technologies cannot meet the granular recovery points due to limited number of snapshots supported
• Complex and Expensive– Often requires professional services
– Increased Capacity requirements
