The Available Storage value on the Dashboard page is the total amount of storage, in bytes, that is currently available for storing and protecting object data and object and system metadata. Available storage does not include storage that is reserved for use in repairing damaged storage.
The Available Storage box has a link to the more detailed statistics listed below.
- Total storage
- The Total storage value is the total amount of storage, in bytes, that can be used for storing, protecting, and repairing object data and object and system metadata. Total storage includes storage on available drives only.
- Reserved for repair
- The Reserved for repair value is the amount of storage, in bytes, that is reserved for use in repairing damaged or otherwise unavailable storage. The amount of storage reserved for repair depends on the total amount of storage on the S Series Node.
- Storage reserved for repair cannot be used for storing and protecting new data.
- Used storage
- The Used storage value is the total amount of storage, in bytes, that is currently occupied by object data, object or system metadata, scavenging metadata, or data or metadata protection overhead.
- Available storage (ideal)
- Available storage (ideal) equals total storage minus storage reserved for repair minus used storage, in bytes.
- Under repair
- The Under repair value is the amount of storage, in bytes, that is in need of repair. Storage needs to be repaired if it is allocated storage on drives that are no longer available (for example, due to a drive failure), regardless of whether that allocated storage contains data.
- Available storage
- Like Available storage (ideal), Available storage equals total storage minus storage reserved for repair minus used storage, in bytes. However, if the amount of storage under repair is greater than or equal to the ideal amount of available storage, the Available storage value is zero.
- The amount of available storage is also shown as a percent of total storage.
- With insufficient available storage, the S Series Node cannot ingest any new data.
