Not sure where you're seing each number or what you're actually looking at. Could you provide some outputs or screenshots of the different numbers?

you can see in screenshot the virtual size 520G, reserved used user space 413G, but in my bare-metal server show 430G, my question is I need to increase my bare-metal space, so how i can make server see remaining space up to 520G ?

3PAR is block storage. The entire volume is presented to the host.

Are you seing 430G as device size or partition size?

edit: I think "lsblk" will give you some info in RHEL.

Yes you can see down on bare-metal server, this is version 5 not support lsblk
Code:
 
PV                                       VG    Fmt   Attr   PSize        PFree
 /dev/mpath/............3731           vgu06 lvm2   a--    430.00G      0


another question why virtual size 520G different than reserved used user space 413G?

Your volume is Thin (provisioned).
Virtual size = volume size
Reserved size = The actual amout of data stored on the volume.

All I see from your output is partition size... not device size. My guess there is free/unpartitioned space on the device not used in RHEL.

Code:
fdisk -l  /dev/mpath/............3731

Disk /dev/mpath/............3731: 558.3 GB, 558345748480 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 67881 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/mpath/............3731 doesn't contain a valid partition table

you can see it show 558GB which is different than what assigned in 3par, 520G why?

GiB/GB discussion.

520 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 558 345 748 480 Bytes.

520 GiB = 558.3 GB
