E-Series Storage Terminology

The following terms apply to objects or references that you might find on NetApp E-Series storage asset landing pages. Many of these terms apply to other data collectors as well.

  • Model — model name of the device.

  • Vendor — same Vendor name you would see if you were configuring a new data source.

  • Serial number — The array serial number. On cluster architecture storage systems like NetApp Clustered Data Ontap, this serial number may be less useful than the individual “Storage Nodes” serial numbers.

  • IP — generally will be the IP(s) or hostname(s) as configured in the data source.

  • Microcode version — firmware.

  • Raw Capacity — base 2 summation of all the physical disks in the system, regardless of their role.

  • Latency — a representation of what the host facing workloads are experiencing, across both reads and writes. Insight calculates an IOPs-weighted average derived from the volumes in the storage.

  • Throughput — the array's total host facing throughput. Insight sums the volumes' throughput to derive this value.

  • Management — this may contain a hyperlink for the management interface of the device. Created programmatically by the Insight data source as part of inventory reporting.
