Understanding the storage component list

The Components page in the HCP System Management Console lists all storage components currently defined on the HCP system. You can display this page.

Procedure

  1. In the top-level menu of the HCP System Management Console, click Storage.

  2. On the left side of the Storage page, click Components.

    For each listed component, the Components page shows:

    • Name

      The component name.

    • Type

      The component type, which can be:

      • Amazon S3
      • Google Cloud
      • HCP S Series
      • Microsoft Azure
      • NFS
      • Primary running
      • Primary spindown
      • S3 Compatible

    • Status

      The component status:

      • Active

        The component is not paused, retiring, or retired.

      • Paused

        A user paused the component. While a component is paused, HCP cannot write to or read from the storage represented by the component.

      • Retired

        A user retired the component. All objects have been moved off the storage represented by the component.

      • Retiring

        A user retired the component. HCP is in the process of moving objects off the storage represented by the component.

    • Usage

      The number of bytes currently used to store objects, parts of multipart objects, chunks for erasure-coded objects, and chunks for erasure-coded parts of objects on storage represented by the component.

      For primary running and S Series storage components, the number of bytes includes storage occupied by the parts of in-progress multipart uploads that have already been written to storage represented by the component. The number of bytes does not include storage occupied by replaced parts of multipart uploads, parts uploaded for aborted multipart uploads, or unused parts of completed multipart uploads.

      NoteFor an NFS storage component, the number of bytes shown is the total number of bytes used on the NFS storage in the component, including bytes used for the OS, non-HCP files, and system overhead.

    • Compliant

      Whether the component is marked compliant. A green checkmark indicates that the component is marked compliant.

      If a storage pool includes at least one component that's marked compliant, that pool is considered compliant. A service plan is considered compliant if each tier in the plan includes at least one compliant storage pool. Only compliant service plans can be associated with namespaces that are in compliance mode.

    • In Use

      Whether any buckets, containers, or mount points associated with the component are assigned to a storage pool. A green checkmark indicates that the component includes items that are assigned to a pool.

    • Alerts

      If an issue exists with the component, either a warning icon (warning icon) or an error icon (error icon), depending on the severity of the issue.

Results

If the problem is with the storage network associated with the component, the page also displays an icon that indicates the type of problem.
