You can use the GetVolumeEfficiency method to get information about a volume. Only the volume you give as a parameter in this API method is used to compute the capacity.

Parameter

This method has the following input parameter:

Name Description Type Default value Required

volumeID

Specifies the volume for which capacity is computed.

integer

None

Yes

Return values

This method has the following return values:

Name

Description

Type

compression

The amount of space being saved by compressing data on a single volume. Stated as a ratio, where 1 means data has been stored without being compressed.

float

deduplication

The amount of space being saved on a single volume by not duplicating data. Stated as a ratio.

float

missingVolumes

The volumes that could not be queried for efficiency data. Missing volumes can be caused by Garbage Collection (GC) being less than an hour old, temporary network loss or restarted services since the GC cycle.

integer array

thinProvisioning

The ratio of space used to the amount of space allocated for storing data. Stated as a ratio.

float

timestamp

The last time efficiency data was collected after GC.

ISO 8601 data string
