# How-To Calculate Cinder's Provisioned Ratio

## Problem

You want to calculate the provisioned ratio for a Cinder Host in terms of the scheduler's capacity\_filter. Helpful in scenarios where Cinder Pool is exceeding the *max\_over\_subscription\_ratio*.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
The ratio of provisioned capacity over total capacity 1.01 has exceeded the maximum over subscription ratio 1.00 on host UUID@Backend#IP:/cinder.
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All versions
* Cinder

## Answer

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
provisioned_ratio = ((backend_state.provisioned_capacity_gb + requested_size) / total)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

**For example:**

1. Consider a Cinder Host to have ***allocated\_capacity\_gb*** of 6740 GB and **total\_capacity\_gb** equal to 6881.28 GB. This information can be retrieved using the following command.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
# cinder get-pools --detail| allocated_capacity_gb | 6740| max_over_subscription_ratio | 1.0| total_capacity_gb | 6881.28
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

2. Let us consider a volume to be provisioned/migrated to be of size 200 GB.
3. The provisioned ratio calculated is to be 1.01 which higher than the subscription ratio of 1.0.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
provisioned ratio = ((  6740 + 200 ) / 6881.28 ) = 1.01
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
