Contributors netapp-manini

You can use the Storage VM / Health details page to view detailed information about the selected storage VM, such as its health, capacity, configuration, data policies, logical interfaces (LIFs), LUNs, qtrees, user, user group quotas, and protection details . You can also view information about the related objects and related alerts for the storage VM.

Note

You can monitor only data storage VM.

Command buttons

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

  • Switch to Performance View

    Enables you to navigate to the Storage VM / Performance details page.

  • Actions

    • Add Alert

      Enables you to add an alert to the selected storage VM.

    • Annotate

      Enables you to annotate the selected storage VM.

  • View Storage VMs

    Enables you to navigate to the Health: All Storage VMs view.

Health tab

The Health tab displays detailed information about data availability, data capacity, and protection issues of various objects such as volumes, aggregates, NAS LIFs, SAN LIFs, LUNs, protocols, services, NFS shares, and CIFS shares.

You can click the graph of an object to view the filtered list of objects. For example, you can click the volume capacity graph that displays warnings to view the list of volumes that have capacity issues with severity as warning.

  • Availability Issues

    Displays, as a graph, the total number of objects, including objects that have availability issues and objects that do not have any availability-related issues. The colors in the graph represent the different severity levels of the issues. The information below the graph provides details about availability issues that can impact or have already impacted the availability of data in the storage VM. For example, information is displayed about the NAS LIFs and the SAN LIFs that are down and volumes that are offline.

    You can also view information about the related protocols and services that are currently running, and the number and status of NFS and CIFS shares.

  • Capacity Issues

    Displays, as a graph, the total number of objects, including objects that have capacity issues and objects that do not have any capacity-related issues. The colors in the graph represent the different severity levels of the issues. The information below the graph provides details about capacity issues that can impact or have already impacted the capacity of data in the storage VM. For example, information is displayed about aggregates that are likely to breach the set threshold values.

  • Protection Issues

    Provides a quick overview of storage VM protection-related health by displaying, as a field dialog box, the total number of relationships, including relationships that have protection issues and relationships that do not have any protection-related issues. You can also view the status of the storage VM DR relationship for the selected storage VM. The storage VM DR relationships events are displayed here and clicking on the events takes you to the event details page. When unprotected volumes exist, clicking on the link takes you to the Health: All Volumes view where you can view a filtered list of the unprotected volumes on the storage VM. The colors in the graph represent the different severity levels of the issues. Clicking a graph takes you to the Relationship: All Relationships view, where you can view a filtered list of protection relationship details. The information below the graph provides details about protection issues that can impact or have already impacted the protection of data in the storage VM. For example, information is displayed about volumes that have a Snapshot copy reserve that is almost full or about SnapMirror relationship lag issues.

Capacity tab

The Capacity tab displays detailed information about the data capacity of the selected SVM.

The following information is displayed for an Storage VM with FlexVol volume or FlexGroup volume:

    The Volumes with Capacity Issues list displays, in tabular format, details about the volumes that have capacity issues:

    • Status

      Indicates that the volume has a capacity-related issue of an indicated severity.

      You can move the pointer over the status to view more information about the capacity-related event or events generated for the volume.

      If the status of the volume is determined by a single event, you can view information such as the event name, time and date when the event was triggered, the name of the administrator to whom the event is assigned, and the cause of the event. You can use the View Details button to view more information about the event.

      If the status of the volume is determined by multiple events of the same severity, the top three events are displayed with information such as the event name, time and date when the events were triggered, and the name of the administrator to whom the event is assigned. You can view more details about each of these events by clicking the event name. You can also click the View All Events link to view the list of generated events.

      Note

      A volume can have multiple events of the same severity or different severities. However, only the highest severity is displayed. For example, if a volume has two events with severities of Error and Warning, only the Error severity is displayed.
