DataCore Server Details Tabs
Info tab
Displays general system information about the DataCore Server (CPU, RAM, cache, operating system, UPS power state and write caching states) and SANsymphony software product information (type, version, build, and install path).
See UPS Support for information about UPS power state and cache settings.
Settings tab
The following settings can be viewed or changed:
o General Settings
· Location of the replication buffer, see Setting Replication Buffer Location in Replication Operations.
· Location of the configuration backup, see Setting Configuration Backup Location in Backing Up/Restoring Configuration Files.
· Disk pool to use for the Snapshot mapstore, see Setting the Mapstore Pool in Snapshot Operations.
· Disk pool to use for the logstore, see Logstore in Mirror Recovery.
o Cache
Settings, see Changing
Cache Size. (The default cache setting is to use the system
managed cache size.) The current memory usage pie chart for the
system RAM displays the amount in use by cache, others (applications),
and free space (not in use). Percentages are rounded to the nearest
whole percent. Memory usage is color-coded in a key next
to the chart.
Do not alter default settings unless you
are aware of the affect your changes will have on performance.
The cache size is set is approximate; the value set may not match
the value used due to system overhead.
o Advanced Settings
· Connection Interface for inter-node communications, see Assigning a Server Group Connection Interface in Establishing Server Groups.
· Hypervisor host setting for virtual machines acting as DataCore Servers, see Virtual Machine Settings.
· Replication buffer available space thresholds, see System Health Thresholds.
Physical Disks tab
Displays physical disks attached to the server
and general information: name, index number, disk size, disk sector size, disk pool, Port.Bus.Target.LUN
numbers used, and status.
Note: If the Free Space
column is displayed (via Column
Chooser), the value shown is from the server point-of-view.
Physical disks in this column that are not in pools will have
a free space value. Pool disks are not available for use by the
server and therefore will reflect a value of 0 B. (This
value is different than the free space value for pool disks in
the Physical
Disk Details page or
Disk
Pool Details page in
which unallocated space is displayed.)
Right-click a disk in the list and a context menu appears to perform actions on the disk.
DataCore Disks tab
Displays the DataCore Disks that are created from the server and general information: name, index, disk size, disk sector size, disk pool, Port.Bus.Target.LUN numbers used, status.
Disk Pools tab
Displays disk pools created on the server and general information: name, pool size, status, SAU size, sector size, available storage, number of single, dual, or mirrored virtual disks created from the pool, over subscription, and usage. See Disk Pools for more information.
Right-click a pool in the list and a context menu appears to perform actions on the pool.
Virtual Disks tab
Lists all virtual disks created from the server and associated information. Virtual disk information matches the information displayed in the Virtual Disks List. See Virtual Disks List for descriptions.
Right-click a virtual disk in the list and a context menu appears to perform actions on the virtual disk.
A link is provided to create new virtual disks, see Creating Virtual Disks.
Ports tab
Lists all ports on the server and general information: name, alias, status, mode, and type. Ports are grouped under their respective port groups. Ports listed under Default have not been added to a user-defined group, and therefore belong to the "default" port group. See Port Connections and Paths for more information on ports and port groups.
Right-click a port in the list and a context menu appears to perform actions on the port.
Performance tab
Displays real-time performance counter measurements for the server including initiator and target operations, and cache operations. See Live Performance.
Events tab
Lists events for the server. Click an event in the list to view details in the Message Text area at the bottom of the tab. See Event Log and Alerts.
