## Storage Profile Summary Page

This page displays information about all existing profiles. Click a profile name to see the profile details.

Field | Indicates
--- | ---
Name | The profile name.
State | The profile state: In Use - A pool exists that uses this profile. Not In Use - No pools exist that use this profile. You cannot modify or delete profiles that are in use.
Type | The profile type: User - The profile was created by a user. Factory - The profile was provided as part of the system software.
RAID Level | The RAID level of the virtual disk: RAID-0 RAID-1 RAID-5
# Drives | The number of drives associated with this profile. This is the number of disk drives that are used to construct the virtual disk in a pool using this profile. The number of drives can be 2 to 14, or variable. If it is set to variable, you must specify the number when you create virtual disks (that is, when you add storage to the pool).
Dedicated Hot Spare | Whether the profile has a dedicated hot spare: Yes or No. The system has dedicated hot spares (controlled by this attribute) and array hot spares (controlled as an editable attribute on the Array Details page). Dedicated hot spare - There is a one-to-one correspondence between a dedicated hot spare and a virtual disk (that is, the hot spare is dedicated to a specific virtual disk). This profile attribute controls whether a dedicated hot spare disk is assigned to the virtual disk when a virtual disk is created in a pool with this profile. Array hot spare - This is a disk in an array that can act as a hot spare for any disk in the array. The number of drives and dedicated hot spare attributes taken together define how many disks are consumed for each virtual disk in a pool.
Virtualization Strategy | The type of virtualization associated with the volume that is related to this profile: Striped - Volumes created in pools using this profile are striped across two or more virtual disks (a pool must have two or more virtual disks to allow volume creation). Concatenated - Volumes created in pools using this profile are concatenated across one or more virtual disks (a pool must have two or more virtual disks to allow volume creation).
