Viewing Storage Pool Information

This section describes how to view information about storage pools.

Context

Procedure

  1. Choose Resources > Resources > Storage Pool.
  2. View information about the storage pools in the function pane. Table 1 describes related parameters.

    Table 1 Storage pool parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Name

    Name of a storage pool.

    Storage Pool ID

    ID of a storage pool.

    Status

    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

    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

    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

    Used physical disk space of a storage pool.

    Capacity Usage

    Ratio of Used Capacity to Total Usable Capacity of a storage pool.

    Total Available Capacity

    Total amount of data that can be written into a storage pool.

    Used Available Capacity

    Total amount of data that has been written into a storage pool.

    Hot Spare Space

    Percentage of the hot spare space in the storage pool space.

    • 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.
    • After the node or disk recovers from the fault, the system recycles the data written during EC reduction upon the fault. Before the recycle is complete, Total Usable Capacity and Total Available Capacity change dynamically in a small range.
    • You can click the name of a storage pool to view its summary and disk pool information. Table 2 describes related disk pool parameters.
    Table 2 Disk pool parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Disk Pool

    Name of a disk pool.

    ID

    ID of a disk pool.

    Status

    Status of a disk pool. Possible values are Normal, Faulty, Stopped, Migrating data, Degraded, Rebuilding data, and Unknown.

    Nodes

    Number of nodes in a disk pool.

    Redundancy Policy

    Redundancy policy of a disk pool.

    Main Storage

    Main storage type of a disk pool.

    Main Storage Disks

    Number of main storage disks in a disk pool.

    Cache Disks

    Number of cache disks in a disk pool.

    Tier Grade

    Tier grade of a disk pool.

    Security Level

    Security level of the disk pool.

    Remaining Data for Increasing Fragments

    Amount of data for which data fragments are to be increased to meet the current redundancy policy of a disk pool.
