Drives details

The Drives page on the Cluster tab provides a list of the active drives in the cluster. You can filter the page by selecting from the Active, Available, Removing, Erasing, and Failed tabs.

When you first initialize a cluster, the active drives list is empty. You can add drives that are unassigned to a cluster and listed in the Available tab after a new SolidFire cluster is created.

The following elements appear in the list of active drives.

Drive ID: The sequential number assigned to the drive.
Node ID: The node number assigned when the node is added to the cluster.
Node Name: The name of the node that houses the drive.
Slot: The slot number where the drive is physically located.
Capacity: The size of the drive, in GB.
Serial: The serial number of the drive.
Wear Remaining: The wear level indicator.
The storage system reports the approximate amount of wear available on each solid-state drive (SSD) for writing and erasing data. A drive that has consumed 5 percent of its designed write and erase cycles reports 95 percent wear remaining. The system does not refresh drive wear information automatically; you can refresh or close and reload the page to refresh the information.
Type: The type of drive. The type can be either block or metadata.
