Available blockstore space
This section describes the available blockstore, usable storage, and the maximum pinnable storage.

Blockstore (GB / GiB)
Usable storage (GB / GiB)
Maximum pinnable storage
(GB / GiB)
 
This value refers to the space after RAID configuration for the entire blockstore.
This value refers to the space available to store LUNs after accounting for the metadata. The metadata uses approximately 8% of the size of the blockstore.
This value refers to the maximum space that can be reserved by pinned LUNs. This value is lower than usable storage to ensure that a minimum amount of space is reserved for writes.

Note: The Edge Management Console Installer displays the available physical storage using base 2 (that is, 1024 bytes = 1 KB) rather than base 10 (that is, 1000 bytes = 1 KB). The base 10 value is used in this table and the specification sheet for the appliance. Please be aware of the slight difference between these values when you are calculating the available space for your deployment. For example, when 2.6 TB is displayed in the Edge Installer it represents 2.9 TB of available space.
