If block storage systems are registered in the VSP One File System Administrator, the Block Storage Pools panel displays the status and performance data for the storage pools that are associated with the storage system. For information about how to register block storage systems, see Registering a block storage system.
Important: The block storage systems must be VSP One Block 20 series or later systems.
This panel includes the following information:
- Status
- The status of the storage pool that indicates the pool is OK or there is a warning.
- Pool Name
- The storage pool name.
- System Type
- The storage system that contains the system drives that are in the storage pool.
- Serial Number
- The storage system serial number.
- Physical Capacity
-
- Total
- The amount of storage allocated to the storage pool.
- Available
- The amount of storage available to the storage pool.
- Used
- The amount of storage used by the storage pool.
- Used (%)
- The percentage of storage that is used by the storage pool. A color-coded bar quickly alerts you to the status of the storage usage:
- Green: The percentage of storage used is normal.
- Red: The percentage of storage used meets or exceeds the threshold set for the storage pool.
- Data Reduction Savings
- The ratio of data reduction (deduplication and compression) savings for the storage pool. For example, a ratio of 2:1 indicates a 50% reduction in storage usage.
- File Storage Pools
- The associated file storage pools. Click a link to view and manage the storage pool configuration information. For information about managing storage pools, see Storage Pools.
- Capacity Utilization
- The capacity usage for the storage pool displayed as a graph to show usage peaks and trends. To view the graph, expand the storage pool row. By default, the graph shows usage, the warning threshold, and the depletion threshold. Click a metric label to add or remove the metric from the graph.
