Command buttons

The command buttons enable you to perform the following tasks for the selected aggregate:

Switch to Performance View

Enables you to navigate to the Performance/Aggregate details page.

Enables you to add the selected aggregate to the Favorites dashboard.

Actions

• Add Alert

  Enables you to add an alert to the selected aggregate.

• Edit Thresholds

  Enables you to modify the threshold settings for the selected aggregate.

View Aggregates

Enables you to navigate to the Health/Aggregates inventory page.

Capacity tab

The Capacity tab displays detailed information about the selected aggregate, such as its capacity, thresholds, and daily growth rate.

By default, capacity events are not generated for root aggregates. Also, the threshold values used by Unified Manager are not applicable to node root aggregates. Only a technical support representative can modify the settings for these events to be generated. When the settings are modified by a technical support representative, the threshold values are applied to the node root aggregate.

Capacity

Displays the data capacity graph and the Snapshot copies graph, which display capacity details about the aggregate:

• Used

  Displays the space used by data in the aggregate.

• Overcommitted

  Indicates that the space in the aggregate is overcommitted.

• Warning

  Indicates that the space in the aggregate is nearly full. If this threshold is breached, the Space Nearly Full event is generated.

• Error

  Indicates that the space in the aggregate is full. If this threshold is breached, the Space Full event is generated.

• Data graph

  Displays the total data capacity and the used data capacity of the aggregate. If the aggregate is overcommitted, a flag is displayed with the overcommitted capacity.

• Snapshot Copies graph

  This graph is displayed only when the used Snapshot capacity or the Snapshot reserve is not zero.

Both of the graphs display the capacity by which the Snapshot capacity exceeds the Snapshot reserve if the used Snapshot capacity exceeds the Snapshot reserve.

External Capacity Tier

Displays capacity details about the external capacity tier for FabricPool-enabled aggregates. A FabricPool can be either licensed or unlicensed.

• Used

  Displays the space used by data in the external capacity tier.

• Unavailable

  Displays the space in the external capacity tier for an Amazon S3 FabricPool that cannot be used. This space may be shared with another FabricPool-enabled aggregate.

• Data graph

  For an Amazon S3 FabricPool, the chart displays the total data capacity that has been licensed by this cluster, the amount being used by this aggregate, and the unusable amount from other aggregates that are using the external capacity tier.

  For a StorageGRID FabricPool, the chart displays only the total capacity being used by this aggregate.

Details

Displays detailed information about capacity.

• Total Capacity

  Displays the total capacity in the aggregate.

• Data Capacity

  Displays the amount of space used by the aggregate (used capacity) and the amount of available space in the aggregate (free capacity).

• Snapshot Reserve

  Displays the used and free Snapshot capacity of the aggregate.

• Overcommitted Capacity
  Displays the aggregate overcommitment. Aggregate overcommitment enables you to provide more storage than is actually available from a given aggregate, as long as not all of that storage is currently being used. When thin provisioning is in use, the total size of volumes in the aggregate can exceed the total capacity of the aggregate.

  Note: If you have overcommitted your aggregate, you must monitor its available space carefully and add storage as required to avoid write errors due to insufficient space.
• External Capacity Tier

  For an Amazon S3 FabricPool, displays the total licensed capacity, the amount used by this aggregate, the amount used by other aggregates, and the free capacity for the external capacity tier. For a StorageGRID FabricPool, displays only the total capacity being used by this aggregate.

• Total Cache Space
  Displays the total space of the solid-state drives (SSDs) or allocation units that are added to a Flash Pool aggregate. If you have enabled Flash Pool for an aggregate but have not added any SSDs, then the cache space is displayed as 0 KB.

  Note: This field is hidden if Flash Pool is disabled for an aggregate.
• Aggregate Thresholds
  Displays the following aggregate capacity thresholds:

  • Nearly Full Threshold

    Specifies the percentage at which an aggregate is nearly full.

  • Full Threshold

    Specifies the percentage at which an aggregate is full.

  • Nearly Overcommitted Threshold

    Specifies the percentage at which an aggregate is nearly overcommitted.

  • Overcommitted Threshold

    Specifies the percentage at which an aggregate is overcommitted.

• Other Details: Daily Growth Rate

  Displays the disk space used in the aggregate if the rate of change between the last two samples continues for 24 hours.

  For example, if an aggregate uses 10 GB of disk space at 2 pm and 12 GB at 6 pm, the daily growth rate (GB) for this aggregate is 2 GB.

• Volume Move
  Displays the number of volume move operations that are currently in progress:

  • Volumes Out

    Displays the number and capacity of the volumes that are being moved out of the aggregate.

    You can click the link to view more details, such as the volume name, aggregate to which the volume is moved, status of the volume move operation, and the estimated end time.

  • Volumes In

    Displays the number and remaining capacity of the volumes that are being moved into the aggregate.

    You can click the link to view more details, such as the volume name, aggregate from which the volume is moved, status of the volume move operation, and the estimated end time.

  • Estimated used capacity after volume move

    Displays the estimated amount of used space (as a percentage, and in KB, MB, GB, and so on) in the aggregate after the volume move operations are complete.

Capacity Overview - Volumes

Displays graphs that provide information about the capacity of the volumes contained in the aggregate. The amount of space used by the volume (used capacity) and the amount of available space (free capacity) in the volume is displayed. When the Thin-Provisioned Volume Space At Risk event is generated for thinly provisioned volumes, the amount of space used by the volume (used capacity) and the amount of space that is available in the volume but cannot be used (unusable capacity) because of aggregate capacity issues is displayed.

You can select the graph you want to view from the drop-down lists. You can sort the data displayed in the graph to display details such as the used size, provisioned size, available capacity, fastest daily growth rate, and slowest growth rate. You can filter the data based on the storage virtual machines (SVMs) that contain the volumes in the aggregate. You can also view details for thinly provisioned volumes. You can view the details of specific points on the graph by positioning your cursor over the area of interest. By default, the graph displays the top 30 filtered volumes in the aggregate.

Disk Information tab

Displays detailed information about the disks in the selected aggregate, including the RAID type and size, and the type of disks used in the aggregate. The tab also graphically displays the RAID groups, and the types of disks used (such as SAS, ATA, FCAL, SSD, or VMDISK). You can view more information, such as the disk's bay, shelf, and rotational speed, by positioning your cursor over the parity disks and data disks.
