You can view the details of a storage pool to determine where the storage pool is used and to see which nodes and storage grades are included.

Before you begin
Steps

  1. Select ILM > Storage pools.

    The Storage pools table includes the following information for each storage pool that includes Storage Nodes:

    • Name: The unique display name of the storage pool.

    • Node count: The number of nodes in the storage pool.

    • Storage usage: The percentage of the total usable space that has been used for object data on this node. This value does not include object metadata.

    • Total capacity: The size of the storage pool, which equals the total amount of usable space for object data for all nodes in the storage pool.

    • ILM usage: How the storage pool is currently being used. A storage pool might be unused or it might be used in one or more ILM rules, erasure-coding profiles, or both.

  2. To view details for a specific storage pool, select its name.

    The details page for the storage pool appears.

  3. View the Nodes tab to learn about the Storage Nodes included in the storage pool.

    The table includes the following information for each node:

    • Node name

    • Site name

    • Storage grade

    • Storage usage: The percentage of the total usable space for object data that has been used for the Storage Node.

      Note The same Storage usage (%) value is also shown in the Storage Used - Object Data chart for each Storage Node (select NODES > Storage Node > Storage).

  4. View the ILM usage tab to determine if the storage pool is currently being used in any ILM rules or erasure-coding profiles.

  5. Optionally, go to the ILM rules page to learn about and manage any rules that use the storage pool.

    See the instructions for working with ILM rules.
