External Capacity Tier window

You can use System Manager to add, edit, and delete external capacity tiers and to view external capacity tier details.

The External Capacity Tier panel displays the total number of licensed external capacity tiers in the cluster, the licensed space that is used in the cluster, and the licensed space that is available in the cluster. The External Capacity Tier panel also displays the unlicensed external capacity that is used.

Command buttons

Add: Enables you to add an external capacity tier.
Attach Aggregates: Enables you to attach aggregates to an external capacity tier.
Delete: Enables you to delete a selected external capacity tier.
Edit: Enables you to modify the properties of a selected external capacity tier.

Details area

You can view detailed information about external capacity tiers such as the list of external capacity tiers, the details of the object stores, the aggregates used, and the used capacity.

If you create an external capacity tier other than StorageGRID, Amazon AWS S3, and Microsoft Azure Blob storage by using the command-line interface (CLI), this external capacity tier is displayed as Others in System Manager. You can then attach aggregates to this external capacity tier.
