Viewing System Information

This operation enables you to learn about the overall conditions of the storage system from the system information view.

Procedure

  1. Click Home.

    The functions supported by the storage system may vary based on permissions of the imported license.

  2. In the Basic Information area, view the current system version and SN. When deploying a converged service, you can also view the current service type.
  3. View the number of main resources, bandwidth, and IOPS of the system.

    • Converged services:
      • DPC Nodes: number of DPC nodes.
      • NFS Connections: total number of storage nodes connected to all NFS clients. It is associated with performance indicator NFS Connections.
      • CIFS Connections: total number of storage nodes connected to all CIFS clients. It is associated with performance indicator CIFS Connections.
      • HDFS Concurrencies: total number of requests sent by all clients. It is associated with performance indicator HDFS Concurrencies.
      • Object Concurrencies: total number of requests sent by all clients. It is associated with performance indicator Object Concurrencies.
      • Namespaces: number of namespaces.
    • Block service:
      • Hosts: number of hosts.
      • VBS Nodes: number of VBS nodes.
      • Volumes: number of volumes.

  4. In the Hardware area, view hardware information about the storage system.

    • Disks: displays disk information (excluding system disks), including the numbers of faulty, subhealthy, and healthy disks.
    • Storage Nodes: displays information about storage nodes, including the number of faulty and healthy storage nodes.

    Click More to view details about the storage system hardware on the Hardware page.

  5. In the Available Capacity area, view the capacity information of each service type in the storage system. You can view information about the disk type, total available capacity, and capacity usage.

    • If you have uploaded a purchased license, the capacity information is displayed based on the license type.
    • When the ratio of the used available capacity to the total available capacity exceeds 80%, the progress bar is in orange, indicating that the capacity is about to be used up.
    • Storage system capacity conversion: 1 PB = 1,024 TB, 1 TB = 1,024 GB, 1 GB = 1,024 MB, 1 MB = 1,024 KB, and 1 KB = 1,024 bytes

  6. In the Top 5 Storage Pools by Usage area, view the capacity trend of the top 5 storage pools sorted by capacity usage in descending order.

    You can click More in the upper right corner of the Top 5 Storage Pools by Usage area to view details about existing storage pools of the storage system on the Storage Pool page.

  7. In the Alarms area, view alarm information about the storage system, including the total number of alarms, alarm severities, and number of alarms of each severity.

    You can click More in the upper right corner of the Alarms area to view details about current alarms and events of the storage system on the Alarms and Events page.

  8. In the Performance area, view the performance indicators of each protocol type in the storage system.
