Managing physical storage

You can use System Manager to manage physical storage such as aggregates, storage pools, disks, array LUNs, nodes, Flash Cache, events, system alerts, AutoSupport notifications, jobs, and Flash Pool statistics.

Storage tiers
You can use System Manager to create aggregates to support the different security requirements, backup requirements, performance requirements, and data sharing requirements of your users.
Configuring and managing cloud tiers
Storing data in tiers can enhance the efficiency of your storage system. You manage storage tiers by using FabricPool-enabled aggregates. Cloud tiers store data in a tier based on whether the data is frequently accessed.
Aggregates
You can use System Manager to create aggregates to support the differing security, backup, performance, and data sharing requirements of your users.
Storage pools
You can use System Manager to create storage pools to enable SSDs to be shared by multiple Flash Pool aggregates.
Disks
You can use System Manager to manage disks.
Array LUNs
You can use System Manager to assign array LUNs to an existing aggregate and manage array LUNs.
Nodes
You can use System Manager to view the details of the nodes in the cluster.
Hardware Cache
You can use System Manager to manage Flash Cache modules.
Events
You can use System Manager to view the event log and event notifications.
System alerts
You can use System Manager to monitor different parts of a cluster.
AutoSupport notifications
You can use System Manager to configure AutoSupport notifications that help you to monitor your storage system health.
Jobs
You can use System Manager to manage job tasks such as displaying job information and monitoring the progress of a job.
Flash Pool statistics
You can use System Manager to view the real-time SSD tier read and write workloads for a selected Flash Pool aggregate.
