An array can promise more space than it holds. Write the gap down.

Yes 2

Written down, with a date (a log, a screen, a document), and it meets your own plan.

Partly 1

Remembered, but not written down, or the record shows you missed your plan.

No 0

Nobody knows, or it was never done. A blank is a finding.

"None, checked on a date" counts as a record. No plan or target written down? Write your guess first, then measure: the guess is your plan.

Tap No, Partly or Yes for each question. Your score adds up as you go. Nothing you tap is saved or sent.

Five questions about your own setup

1. 1 Space promised to servers

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) The total space the array has promised to its servers, and the label the screen gave it (some makers say provisioned or subscribed capacity).

   Your answer

   No 0Partly 1Yes 2
   Score 0, 1 or 2This quarterNext quarter

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   The array's capacity screen, in the total for volumes (a volume is a slice of storage shown to a server). Write the label you used and today's date. No promised total on the screen? Add up the sizes of the volumes it presents to servers, and write that you added them.

   To get it to a 2:

   A promised total from the screen or a saved report, with its label and today's date.

   What this does not prove:

   Two screens can use the same word for different things. The label you wrote is what keeps next quarter's reading comparable.

   Where each reading lives on your dashboard: five readings from your own dashboard

2. 2 Physical space the array holds

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) The total physical space the array holds, from the same screen as row 1.

   Score 0, 1 or 2This quarterNext quarter

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   The same capacity screen, in the total for the storage itself. Write it on the same date as row 1.

   To get it to a 2:

   A physical total from the same screen, dated the same day as row 1.

3. 3 The gap as one ratio

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) Promised divided by physical, as one number. Beside it, the highest ratio your own plan allows.

   Your answer

   No 0Partly 1Yes 2
   Score 0, 1 or 2This quarterNext quarter

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   Rows 1 and 2, with a calculator. Your plan or your array's design notes may name a ratio you accept. No plan written down? Write your guess first, then divide, and score against the guess.

   To get it to a 2:

   A ratio written with the two numbers it came from, at or under the ratio your plan or guess allows.

   What this does not prove:

   This page gives no safe ratio. The right one depends on your data.

4. 4 The sentence you can repeat upward

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) "The array has promised its servers ___ and holds ___, as of this date." Written out, with who else knows it.

   Your answer

   No 0Partly 1Yes 2
   Score 0, 1 or 2This quarterNext quarter

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   Your own notes from rows 1 and 2. Ask your manager and the team whether they know the two numbers.

   To get it to a 2:

   The sentence written with both numbers and the date, in a place the team can find, and at least one other person can say it back.

5. 5 The reading that repeats

   Your answer, and where it is written down (with the date) The date you will read both numbers again, and the date of this reading beside it.

   Your answer

   No 0Partly 1Yes 2
   Score 0, 1 or 2This quarterNext quarter

   How to raise it

   Where to find it:

   Your team calendar. One reading shows the gap today; a second one shows how fast the real space is filling.

   To get it to a 2:

   Today's reading dated, and the next one booked inside the interval your team sets. No interval written down? Write your guess, such as every quarter, and score against it.
