Storage Systems page in the Storage Systems view



The Storage Systems page in the Storage Systems view enables you to verify:

  • the capacity of your storage systems and know if they can meet future allocation requirements
  • the bandwidth utilization of your storage systems and if more ports can be added. 

The Storage System Overview table displays capacity metrics per storage system. Failed to execute the [excerpt-include] macro.

Storage System Details

To view detailed information about a specific storage system, click its (hyper-linked) name in the Storage System column.

The Storage System Details page provides four sub-pages:

  • Summary to get a quick summary of all the capacity and traffic information available for the storage system.
  • Configuration Details to view configuration information about the storage system.
  • Controllers and Ports to get information about the controllers and ports of the storage system.
  • Disks to view information about the storage system disks.

Summary Page in Storage System Details

This page provides additional metrics for the selected Storage System.

Column

Description

 Metrics

Consumed Capacity [TB]

Capacity consumed in all storage systems.

ST_CONSUMED_CAPACITY

Subscribed Capacity [TB]

Sum of the host visible capacity for all volumes in all the storage systems. Can be greater than the actual capacity of the storage system for over-subscribed thin pools.

ST_SYSTEM_SUBSCRIBED_CAPACITY

Bandwidth Utilization [%]

Percentage of the bandwidth consumed in all the storage systems.

ST_SYSTEM_BANDWIDTH_UTIL

Controller Performance Utilization Balance [%]

Differential between the controller with the maximum and the controller with the minimum average utilization.

Based on: BYCONT_PROCESSOR_UTIL

Controller Response Time Balance [MILLIS]

Differential between the controller with the maximum and the controller with the minimum average response time in the storage system.

Based on: BYCONT_RESPONSE_TIME

Controller Operations Balance [Operations/s]

Differential between the controller with the maximum and the controller with the minimum average operations per second performed.

Based on: BYCONT_IO_RATE

Disk Response Time Balance [MILLIS]

Differential between the disk with the maximum and the disk with the minimum average response time.

Based on: BYDISK_RESPONSE_TIME

Disk Utilization Balance [%]

Differential between the disk with the maximum and the disk with the minimum average utilization (unused disks excluded).

Based on: BYDISK_UTIL

Additionally, graphs are available to view the I/Os and capacity metrics.

Configuration Details Page in Storage System Details

The information displayed in this page depends on the metrics available for the entity; typically, Identification, Host and Volumes, and Network information.

Controllers and Ports Page in Storage System Details

This page provides information and metrics related to controllers and ports for the selected Storage System: Controller Name, Port Name, Type, Address, Bandwidth, Controller Response Time, Controller Transfers and Controller Performance Utilization).

Disks Page in Storage System Details

This page provides information and metrics related to disks for the selected Storage System: Name, Model, Type, RPM (revolution per minute), Size, Response Time, Utilization, etc.)
