Additional comments: ❏❏
a. This is the volume size needed for each volume visible on the Fibre Channel path.
b. Percentage of available Symmetrix data capacity used by that host.
c. Special attention is required when using a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) or data striping when using hypervolumes. In general, EMC
recommends using data striping on the Symmetrix system. Keep in mind that the larger the granularity of the striping, the less effective it
becomes.
