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.
