    Table 1 Storage pool parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Name

    Indicates the name of a storage pool.

    Storage Pool ID

    Indicates the ID of a storage pool.

    Status

    Indicates the status of a storage pool. Possible values are Normal, Faulty, Write-protected, Stopped, Faulty and write-protected, Migrating data, Degraded, Rebuilding data, Migrating services, and Unknown.

    NOTE:

    When expanding or reducing the capacity of a storage pool on DeviceManager, the task is at the Notify EDS scale out or Clear EDS on the storage node step, and the storage pool is in normal status, Status of the storage pool will be displayed as Migrating services. On the CLI, Migrating services is not a possible value of storage pool status. A storage pool in such status will be displayed as Normal.

    Service Type

    Indicates the service type of a storage pool.

    Key Service

    • Internal key service: The built-in key management function of the system is used.
    • External key service: An external key management server is used for management.

    Total Usable Capacity

    Indicates the actual usable physical disk space of a storage pool (Total physical disk capacity – Capacity consumed by EC redundancy – Capacity lost due to hardware faults).

    Used Capacity

    Indicates the used physical disk space of a storage pool.

    Capacity Usage

    Indicates the ratio of Used Capacity to Total Usable Capacity of a storage pool.

    Total Available Capacity

    Indicates the total amount of data that can be written into a storage pool.

    Used Available Capacity

    Indicates the total amount of data that has been written into a storage pool.

    Security Level

    Indicates the security level of a storage pool.

    • In the event of a node or disk fault, the system is degraded and reconstructed. Total Usable Capacity and Total Available Capacity decrease and change dynamically. After the fault is rectified, the capacity recovers.
    • You can click the name of a storage pool to view its summary and disk pool information. Table 2 describes related disk pool parameters.
