What is step size in 3PAR?
This is 128 KB (by default for a certain class of disks, it varies for different classes, exact number doesn’t matter much). Here’s what happens: when the 3Par gets some data to be written, it writes 128 KB (a step size) to one region, then 128 KB to another region, and so on.
What is CPG in 3PAR storage?
A common provisioning group (CPG) creates a virtual pool of logical disks that allows virtual volumes to share the CPG’s resources and allocates space on demand. From the Operations Console main menu, select Block Storage Devices.
What is TPVV in 3PAR?
HPE 3PAR Storage Systems – How Much Raw or Physical Space Is Used by a Thin Provisioned Virtual Volume (TPVV)
What is chunklet in 3PAR?
In 3PAR, physical disks are at the lowest level of data structure. The next is Chunklets. In StoreServ, a chunklet is 1GB of contiguous. space on a physical disk. RAID is implemented at the chunklet level.
What is TDVV?
The new version of dedupe is intended to allow dedupe and compression to function together in the same VV (Virtual Volume). Up until now dedupe was enabled with the use of the TDVV (Thin Deduplicated Virtual Volume), this is now no longer required as dedupe is just an attribute of a volume that can be enabled.

Where do I start with 3PAR?
The perfect place to start is by looking at the 3PAR architecture, and specifically how 3PAR uses layers of abstraction to deliver a unique and flexible approach to RAID. Introducing Chunklet!

What is the difference between 3PAR and planning?
Planning – No need to size and allocate space to RAID groups upfront. With 3PAR you can create CPG’s as required with no upfront space requirement and then space is only consumed as it is demanded.
What is the size of a Chunklet in 3PAR?
Prior to the 7000 and 10,000 series the chunklet size was 256MB, the reason for the increase to 1GB was to reflect the growing size of disks. In a 3PAR system like in a traditional storage system RAID is used to combine multiple disks together but instead of using entire disks data is striped across chunklets.
