Understanding component and pool details for primary storage
The details pages for the primary running storage component or pool and the primary spindown storage component or pool show overall usage statistics for the applicable component or pool. You can display one of these pages.
Procedure
In the top-level menu of the HCP System Management Console, click Storage.
On the left side of the Storage page, click Components or Pools, as applicable.
In the list of components or pools, click Primary running or Primary spindown, as applicable.
Results
The details page for a primary storage component or pool has a single panel, Overview. The Usage Statistics graph in this panel shows the total storage capacity and amount of used storage for primary running storage or primary spindown storage, as applicable, during the past 30 days (or since HCP was installed if that was less than 30 days ago).
The x-axis in the Usage Statistics graph marks the passage of time. The y-axis measures the storage in gigabytes, terabytes, or petabytes, depending on the storage capacity. As the total storage capacity increases, the intervals on the y-axis get larger. The graph heading indicates the current measurement unit (gigabytes (GB), terabytes (TB), or petabytes (PB)).
The legend below the Usage Statistics graph shows:
- The total storage capacity of the applicable type, excluding the space required for system overhead and the operating system, as applicable.
- The amount of used storage of the applicable type.
The used storage value is the total amount of storage occupied by object data, system and custom metadata, the metadata query engine index, and any redundant data required to satisfy data protection level and metadata protection level settings in service plans.
Used storage includes storage occupied by the parts of in-progress multipart uploads that have already been written to the repository. Used storage does not include storage occupied by replaced parts of multipart uploads, parts uploaded for aborted multipart uploads, or unused parts of completed multipart uploads.
- The number of logical volumes of the applicable type that are defined on the HCP system.
