If you chose to allow the <strong>XIV</strong> to determine the size of the migration volume, then you may findthat a small amount of extra space is consumed for every volume that was created. Unlessthe volume sizes being used on the non-<strong>XIV</strong> storage device were created in multiples of16 GiB, then it is likely that the volumes automatically created by the <strong>XIV</strong> will reserve more<strong>XIV</strong> disk space than is actually made available to the volume. An example of the <strong>XIV</strong> volumeproperties of such an automatically created volume is shown in Figure 7-20. In this examplethe Windows2003_D drive is 53 GB in size, but the size on disk is 68 GB on the <strong>XIV</strong>.Figure 7-20 Properties of a migrated volumeWhat this means is that we can resize that volume to 68 GB (as shown in the <strong>XIV</strong> GUI) <strong>and</strong>make the volume 15 GB larger without effectively consuming any more space on the <strong>XIV</strong>. InFigure 7-21 we can see that the migrated Windows2003_D drive is 53 GB in size(53,678,141,440 bytes).Figure 7-21 Windows D drive at 53 GB214 <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>XIV</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>System</strong>: <strong>Copy</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Migration</strong>
